What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

A sock drawer contains 5 different colors of socks. It has 20 white, 10 black, 10 gray, 6 red, and 4 purple.

The total number of the events will be

Total events = 20 + 10 + 10 + 6 + 4

Total events = 50

If you reach into the drawer and choose a sock randomly.

Then the probability you will get a black sock will be

Favorable event = 10

Then the probability will be

P = 10 / 50

P = 1/5

P = 0.2
