Can somebody explain to be in detail what division represents in probability. Like A/B. I know it sounds very basic, but I just don't understand it. The events and all.

Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.
Theoretical probability is the probability of an event based on mathematical calculations and assumptions, while experimental probability is the probability of an event based on actual observations and data collected from experiments or real-life situations.
Probability can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. For example, the probability of rolling a 3 on a six-sided die would be 1/6.
Independent events are events where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event. Dependent events are events where the outcome of one event does affect the outcome of the other event.
Probability is used in real life to make predictions, assess risks, and make informed decisions. It is used in fields such as statistics, finance, medicine, and sports to analyze data and make predictions about future events.
