1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.976
Here is the problem: An event has 13 favorable outcomes out of 52 equally likely outcomes. What is its probability?

2
00:00:08.426 --> 00:00:11.189
Single event (favorable divided by total).

3
00:00:11.989 --> 00:00:15.855
Divide favorable outcomes by total equally likely outcomes.

4
00:00:16.305 --> 00:00:18.441
Complement: the event does not happen.

5
00:00:18.891 --> 00:00:20.006
Odds in favor.

6
00:00:20.806 --> 00:00:27.029
So the answer is P(A) equals 1 over 4 approximately 0.25 (25 percent).

7
00:00:27.479 --> 00:00:38.125
The event occurs in 13 of 52 equally likely outcomes, so its probability is 25 percent; it fails with probability 75 percent.
