No

worldunseen · Answer

This is what it is.

$$Probability = \frac{ Number\ of\ successes }{ Number\ of\ total\ possible\ outcomes }$$

worldunseen · Answer

For example, if I were to try to find the probability of landing heads on a coin flip, it would be 1/2. There are 2 possible outcomes in the coin flip (landing heads or tails), and 1 outcome that would be a success (landing heads).

1/2 or 50%
