Introduction to Probability

What is Probability?

Probability is the study of chance or the likelihood of an event happening. Directly or indirectly, probability plays a role in all activities.

For example, we may say that it will probably rain today because most of the days we have observed were rainy days.

However, in mathematics, we would require a more accurate way of measuring probability.
