Number of outcomes favourable to E
PE)= Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment
Where the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely.
2. The sum of the probability of all the elementary events of an experiment is 1.
The probability ofa sure event is | and probability of an impossible event is 0.
4. P(E)+P(E)=1.
5. The probability ofan event E is a number P(E) such that O < P(E) <1.
