  1. 12.4 – Probability & Probability Distributions

  2. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then:

  3. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then: • Probability of Success

  4. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then: • Probability of Success P(S) = s s + f

  5. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then: • Probability of Success P(S) = s s + f • Probability of Failure

  6. If an event can succeed in s ways and fail in f ways, then: • Probability of Success P(S) = s s + f • Probability of Failure P(F) = f s + f
