probability :

Likelihood or chance that a particular event will occur -
> is
proportion fraction whose value from O to
I
a or
ranges
-
↳ an event that has no chance of
occurring has a
probability of
o
↳ while an event that is sure to occur has
probability of 1

7) sample space (s)

-
set of all possible elementary outcomes of an experiment
(Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive) .
consists of from a box
