The 1-minute sheetCinnaEntry

The Formula

  • P = favorable outcomes / total outcomes
  • Always between 0 and 1 (or 0–100%)
  • P = 0 impossible, P = 1 certain

Complement

  • P(not A) = 1 − P(A)
  • Often far faster than counting the event itself

Independent Events

  • Both happen → multiply the probabilities
  • Coin then die: ½ × ⅙ = 1/12

With Vs Without Replacement

  • Without replacement, the total shrinks for the second draw
Key takeaway

Favorable over total
