Probability
Probability scales
Probability
In maths, probability means how likely something is to happen
Probabilities are often shown on a scale with impossible at one end and certain at the other
Random
If a person is chosen at random it means every person has an equal chance of being chosen
How the theory works
Playing card example
A pack of playing cards has four suits
There are two red suits, diamonds and hearts
There are two black suits, clubs and spades
There is also two joker cards in every pack of cards
Each suit has 13 cards
Because each suit has 13 and there are 4 suits, it means that there are 52 suit cards and 2 jokers bringing the total to 54 cards
Experiments and games
When the theory doesn't help
Relative frequancy
Dean estimates the probability of throwing a six with his dice

This type of estimation is called relative frequency
