Probability

The document explains the concept of probability, which measures how likely an event is to occur, ranging from 0 to 1 or 0% to 100%. It distinguishes between experimental and theoretical probability and introduces combined events, mutually exclusive events, and the use of diagrams like possibility and tree diagrams. Examples illustrate the differences between mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events.

Combined events

-when you look at two or more events together

Example, rolling two dice, rolling one dice and spinning a spinner at
the same time
