00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.535
Here is the problem: An event has 4 favorable outcomes out of 52 equally likely outcomes. What is its probability?

2
00:00:07.985 --> 00:00:10.609
Single event (favorable divided by total).

3
00:00:11.409 --> 00:00:15.356
Divide favorable outcomes by total equally likely outcomes.

4
00:00:15.806 --> 00:00:18.000
Complement: the event does not happen.

5
00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:19.599
Odds in favor.

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:32.845
So the answer is P(A) equals 1 over 13 approximately 0.076923077 (7.6923077 percent).

7
00:00:33.295 --> 00:00:48.481
The event occurs in 4 of 52 equally likely outcomes, so its probability is 7.6923077 percent; it fails with probability 92.307692 percent.
