Step 1

Probability quantifies the chances of happening an event. The probability values always lie in the range 0 and 1.

An event is a subset of the sample space. Sample space consist the set of all possible outcomes and the probability of sample space is 1. Conditional probability is the probability of occurrence of an event with some association with other events.
