Expert Solution
Step 1

Event: In the probability theory, an event is an outcome or a set of outcomes of a random experiment to which a probability is assigned. A single outcome is an element of a sample space, and different events in a random experiment are generally not equally likely since they may include very different groups of outcomes.

The probability could be defined as a number that always falls between 0 and 1 where 0 implies the impossibility of an event to happen and 1 implies the possibility of an event to happen. It could be defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes, where the outcomes are equally likely. The formula to compute the probability is as follows:

Probability=Number of favorable outcomesTotal outcomes
