The formula for finding P(B) is P(B) = number of favorable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.
To determine the favorable outcomes, you need to identify the events that satisfy the given condition or criteria in the problem. These events will be considered as favorable outcomes for P(B).
Yes, for example, if we have a bag with 10 red marbles and 5 blue marbles, and we want to find the probability of selecting a red marble, the formula would be P(red) = 10/15 = 2/3.
If the problem involves multiple events, you can use the formula P(B) = P(A) x P(A|B), where P(A) is the probability of event A occurring and P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred.
The result of P(B) represents the likelihood or chance of event B occurring. It is expressed as a decimal, percentage, or fraction between 0 and 1, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means the event is certain to occur.
