Introduction to probability

Learn to understand and apply the probability scale ranging from 0 to 1. You should express probabilities as fractions, decimals, or percentages. You may need to use data from tables, graphs, or Venn diagrams involving up to two sets. Calculate the probability of a single event. Recognize that the probability of an event not happening is equal to 1 minus the probability of that event occurring, for example, if the probability of a counter being blue is 0.8, what is the probability that it is not blue?
