involving the weights of duck hatchlings. For this problem, assume that you weigh 500 duck hatchlings. You find that 55 are slightly underweight, 11 are severely underweight, and the rest are normal. (1) What probability should be assigned to a single duck hatchling's being slightly underweight? (2) What probability should be assigned to a single duck hatchling's being severely underweight? (3) What probability should be assigned to a single duck hatchling's being normal?

Probability of an event is computed by taking the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to total number of possible outcomes. The probability gives the chances of occurrence of an event.
For example a dice is rolled and an event is getting an even number on dice. There are total 6 possible outcomes out of which 3 are even number (2, 4, 6), so the probability of the event will be ratio of 3 to 6.
