\(P(E) = \dfrac{O_{F}}{O_{T}}\)
\(P(orange) = \dfrac{orange}{orange, apple, pear} =\)
This is the building block of probability of which most other problems are built.Read: The probability of an event is outcomes favorable divided by outcomes total.
\(P(E) = \dfrac{O_{F}}{O_{T}}\)What is the probability of unknowingly picking an orange in a basket containing an orange, apple, and pear?
\(P(orange) = \dfrac{orange}{orange, apple, pear} =\)
\( \dfrac{1}{3} = 0.667 = 66.7 \%\)
