What is Probability?<\/h2>\n

Probability is a measure of how likely something is to happen. It\u2019s expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means the event won\u2019t happen and 1 means it definitely will.<\/p>\n

To better grasp this, let\u2019s consider a simple example: a coin toss. When you flip a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. Each outcome is equally likely, so the probability of getting heads is 0.5 (or 50%), and the probability of getting tails is also 0.5 (or 50%). This means that in the long run, you would expect to get heads half the time and tails the other half, assuming the coin is fair and the tosses are random.<\/p>\n
