How to solve probability word problems:
1. Identify events for which probability is to
be determined.
2. Calculate probability of each number.
3. Calculate probability of each event.
4. Add probability of each event.
Probability Rules:
1. The probability of any event is a number ( either a
fraction, a decimal, or a percent) between and including
0 and 1.
2. If an event will never happen, then its probability is 0.
3. If an event is sure to happen then the probability is one.
4. The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes in the
sample space is 1.
