Question

What do you mean by favourable outcome and sure event.

Answer 1

Probability is calculated by looking at the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes in a given situation. In ratio form, the probability of an event is: An outcome is a possible result of some event occurring. For example, when you flip a coin, “heads” is one outcome; tails is a second outcome.

Answer 2

In  Probability, the favourable outcome and sure events are important terms

• The favourable event is a collection of events that satisfies the condition of the probability
• For example: It will rain today
• There are two possibilities : it may rain and it may not rain
• So the favourable outcome is 1 : that it may rain
• Today it will rain satisfies the condition of the question.
• A sure event is an event which will surely happen
• For example: if you roll a dice you will get a number less than seven
• That is sure to happen because a number cannot fall which is more than seven.

Hope you understood the two terms

Hope it helps you:-)
