Intro

Predicting with Probability

By the end of this lesson, you will predict outcomes using theoretical probability for simple and compound events. Theoretical probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by total equally likely outcomes, found by thinking rather than testing. You'll learn to handle single actions and combined actions, then use probability to predict how many times something happens.
