The probability formulas are utilized to predict the result of an occasion to happen. To review, the likelihood of an occasion happening is called probability. When an irregular examination is engaged, one of the principal addresses that come to our psyche is: What is the likelihood that a specific occasion happens? A probability is an opportunity of expectation. At the point when we expect that, suppose, x be the odds of happening an occasion then simultaneously (1-x) are the odds for “not occurring” of an occasion. 

So also, if the probability of an occasion happening is “a” and a free probability is “b”, at that point the probability of both the occasion happening is “ab”. We can utilize the equation to discover the odds of occurring of an occasion.

Formulas to Equate Probability

The formulas generally used to find the probability of an occasion is:

Probability Formula/ Probability of an Event Formula

Or,

n(E)/n(S) = P(A)Where,

n(E) are the number of benign outcomes

n(S) are the total number of events in the normal space

P(A) is the probability of an event “A”

Note: Here, the favourable outcome means that the outcome of interest.

In some cases pupils get befuddled about “favourable outcome” with “desirable outcome”. In a portion of the prerequisites, losing in a specific test or event of an unwanted result can be a positive occasion for the experiments conducted

Basic Probability Formulas

Let’s assume that A and B are two events. The probability formulas for these events  are given below:

All Probability Formulas List in Maths

Normal Probability Range = 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1

Complementary Events = P(A)+P(A’) = 1

Addition Rules in Probability= P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)= P(A∪B)

Rules of Independent Events= P(A) ⋅ P(B)= P(A∩B) 

Rules of Disjoint Events P(A∩B) = 0

Bayes Formula = P(A) = n(S) ÷ n(A)

Probability of A = no. of probable nos ÷ total numbers.

Some of Examples of  Questions Using the given Probability Formulas

Question 1: Two dice are rolled at once. Calculate the probability that the result of sum of the numbers on the two dice is 5.

Solution:

Possible results (Normal Space) = {(1, 1), (1, 2),……………,(1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2),…………….,(2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2),………..,(3, 6), ………….,(4, 1), (4, 2),……….,(4, 6), (5, 1), (5,2),……………,(5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2),………………….,(6, 6)}

Total number of possible results = 36

Total number of result in the experiment that are positive to the occasion that a sum of two events is 6

=> Favorable outcomes are: (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2) and (5, 1)

Number of favorable outcomes = 5

Use,   Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes = probability formula

= 536

The probability of a sum of 6 is 536.

Question 2: Find out the probability of getting an odd number if a dice is rolled?

Solution: Normal space (S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Let “A” be the occasion of getting an odd number, A = {1, 3, 5}

So, according to the probability formulas,Number of Positive Results /Total number of Results = The Probability of getting an odd number  = 3/6 = ½
