The formula to calculate the probability of a simple event can be found in the Teachers Examples section of Lesson 2 on the study guide. What is the correct formula?(1 point)

1 answer

The probability of a simple event can typically be calculated using the formula:

\[ P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} \]

Where:

  • \( P(E) \) is the probability of the event,
  • The "Number of favorable outcomes" refers to the outcomes that satisfy the event,
  • The "Total number of possible outcomes" is the total number of outcomes that could possibly occur.

If you need a more specific formula or have certain conditions in mind, please let me know!
