Main Concepts

Probability of a successful event happening is expressed as a number from 0-1.

A probability of an outcome as 0 is impossible and will not occur.

A probability of an outcome as 1 is certain that the outcome will occur.

The likelihood of an event happening that is at ½ is equally as likely to happen or not happen.

Probability is viewed as the proportion of successes in a chance process.
