The probability of finding an event can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. This can be represented as:
Probability = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Total Number of Possible Outcomes
For example, if you are looking for the probability of rolling a 6 on a standard six-sided die, there is only 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 6) out of 6 possible outcomes (rolling a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 6 on a standard six-sided die is 1/6 or approximately 0.167.
