Probability: What are the Chances
Check out the video below to find out about probability.
Also, you can keep reading for more information below.
We deal with probability more often than we think.
Let’s take your car, for instance.
There is a chance that your car will either crank or not.
If your vehicle is having trouble, the probability of your car starting is less.
A newer car has a better chance of cranking up.
That is just a basic example.
Let’s define what probability actually is.
Probability is the chance of something occurring, compared to the chance of the event happening.
We see probability mostly in:
- Sports
- Gambling
- Economic prediction
Let’s see probability in action.
Below, I will share how probability works when it comes to a dice roll.
Probability and a Dice Roll
A 6-sided dice makes it easy for us to see how probability works.

When it comes to a dice roll of the dice above, there is a 1 out of 6 chance you will roll a number.
Chances are you will roll a number from 1 to 6.
1, 3, and 5 are odd numbers.
2, 4, and 6 are even numbers.
There is 100% chance you roll a number.
The possibility of you rolling an odd number is 3 out of 6, or 50%.
The chances of you rolling an even number are 3 out of 6, which is also 50%.
This basic example gives you a glimpse into how probability works.
