1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.128
Here is the problem: An event has 1 favorable outcomes out of 4 equally likely outcomes. What is its probability?

2
00:00:07.579 --> 00:00:10.377
Single event (favorable divided by total).

3
00:00:11.177 --> 00:00:15.078
Divide favorable outcomes by total equally likely outcomes.

4
00:00:15.528 --> 00:00:17.595
Complement: the event does not happen.

5
00:00:18.045 --> 00:00:19.183
Odds in favor.

6
00:00:19.983 --> 00:00:26.252
So the answer is P(A) equals 1 over 4 approximately 0.25 (25 percent).

7
00:00:26.702 --> 00:00:36.733
The event occurs in 1 of 4 equally likely outcomes, so its probability is 25 percent; it fails with probability 75 percent.
