Introduction
Probability is a measure or estimation of how likely it is that something will
happen or that a statement is true.We have
had a glimpse of probability when we performed experiments like tossing of
coins, throwing of dice, etc., and observed their outcomes.
Pre-Requisites:
Probability Fundamentals
Activity:
Observe the likelihood of different events in
your daily life by taking experimental samples of the event over a period of
time and then calculating the fractions.
Real Life Question:
null
