Probability is a fundamental concept in mathematics and statistics that deals with the likelihood of events occurring. It provides a framework for quantifying uncertainty and making predictions based on known information. This section explores the foundational ideas of probability, starting with elementary event s and their basic properties.

Probability Underlies Much Of The Modern World An Engineering Professor Explains How It Actually Works
Probability concerns events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1][1][2] This number is often expressed as a percentage (%), ranging from 0% to 100%.
The probability of an event can only be between 0 and 1 and can also be written as a percentage. The probability of event A is often written as P (A) . If P (A)> P (B) , then event A has a higher chance of occurring than event B . If P (A) = P (B) , then events A and B are equally likely to occur.
