"If you flip a coin 100 times, will you get exactly 50 heads? What does math say about the chances?"

Key Points

  • 1
    Experiment: action with uncertain result (rolling a die)
  • 2
    Outcome: one possible result (getting a 4)
  • 3
    Sample Space (S): list of ALL possible results
  • 4
    Event (E): the result(s) you care about

Pro Tip

Sample space = the full menu. Event = what you want to order.
