Favorable Outcome Definition:
the outcome that you are looking for in an experimentFavorable Outcome for one coin flip:
Our event is the coin tossWe have 2 possible outcomes, heads or tails
Suppose your looking for heads as a favorable outcome, you would have 1 favorable outcome
Probability formula for flipping a head:
Probability of flipping a head = | Favorable Outcomes |
Total Possible Outcomes |
Favorable outcomes = 1 head, total possible outcomes = 1 head + 1 tail = 2
Probability of flipping a head = | 1 |
2 |
Favorable Outcome for a cube/die roll:
Suppose we have a fair cube/die with 6 sides.Our event is the cube/die roll.
We have 6 possible outcomes, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
What are the favorable outcomes for rolling an even number?
In this case, we have 3 favorable outcomes.
Probability formula with favorable outcomes:
Probability of rolling an even = | Favorable Outcomes |
Total Possible Outcomes |
Favorable outcomes = 3 evens (2, 4, 6}, total possible outcomes = 6 sides
Probability of rolling an even = | 3 |
6 |
We can simplify this fraction by dividing top and bottom by 3:
Probability of rolling an even = | 1 |
