What is the formula for the probability of a specific favorable outcome?

a) Probability = sum of all outcomes / number of favorable outcomes

b) Probability = number of possible outcomes/ number of favorable outcomes

c) Probability = number of favorable outcomes / sum of all possible outcomes

1 answer

The correct formula for the probability of a specific favorable outcome is:

c) Probability = number of favorable outcomes / sum of all possible outcomes.

In probability, the probability of an event happening is calculated by dividing the number of ways that event can occur (favorable outcomes) by the total number of possible outcomes.
