Explore the principles of statistics and probability, equipping high school students with essential skills for data analysis and informed decision-making.
Probability is a way of measuring how likely something is to happen. It ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
If all outcomes are equally likely, the probability of an event is:
\[ P(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Number of Possible Outcomes}} \]
Probability helps us predict the chance of rain, the likelihood of winning a game, or the risk of catching a cold.
Finding the chance of rolling a 6 on a standard die.
Predicting whether your school basketball team will win their next game.
Probability tells us how likely things are to happen using numbers between 0 and 1.
