ProbabilityProbability

� Probability is a measure of how likely it is for an event to happen.

� We name a probability with a number from 0 to 1.

� If an event is certain to happen, then the probability of the event is 1.

� If an event is certain not to happen, then the probability of the event is 0.

ChanceChance

� When a meteorologist states that the chance of rain is 50%, the meteorologist is saying that it is equally likely to rain or not to rain. If the chance of rain rises to 80%, it is more likely to rain. If the chance drops to 20%, then it may rain, but it probably will not rain.
