What is probability ?

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

A probability is a number that expresses the possibility or likelihood that a specific event will take place. Probabilities can be stated as proportions with a range of 0 to 1, or as percentages with a range of 0% to 100%.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Item 1:

54 out of 100 people prefer bacon, hence:

P = 54/100

  = 27/50

Item 2:

Out of 100 people, 54 prefer bacon, 21 prefer sausage but pancakes, hence 54 + 21 = 75 desired outcomes, hence:

P = 75/100

  = 3/4

Item 3:

31 out of 100 people prefer bacon and pancakes, hence:

P = 31/100

Item 4:

Out of 46 people that prefer sausage, 25 prefer french toast, hence:

P = 46 / 25

Item 5:

Out of 48 people that prefer french toast, 25 prefer sausage, hence:

P = 48 / 25
