probability is chance of favorable outcome of a event, say u re tossing a coin, so what could be the outcome HEAD or TAIL (2 possible outcome),. So the probability of HEAD (favorable) is 1/2.
And it is 0 to 1. So ignore negative values and values > 1

popitree · Answer

When u throw a dice, possible outcomes 6, so probability that u will get 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 is 1/6
