1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.430
Here is the problem: An event has 3 favorable outcomes out of 10 equally likely outcomes. What is its probability?

2
00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:10.620
Single event (favorable divided by total).

3
00:00:11.420 --> 00:00:15.263
Divide favorable outcomes by total equally likely outcomes.

4
00:00:15.713 --> 00:00:17.814
Complement: the event does not happen.

5
00:00:18.264 --> 00:00:19.367
Odds in favor.

6
00:00:20.167 --> 00:00:26.077
So the answer is P(A) equals 3 over 10 approximately 0.3 (30 percent).

7
00:00:26.527 --> 00:00:35.780
The event occurs in 3 of 10 equally likely outcomes, so its probability is 30 percent; it fails with probability 70 percent.
