We will also explore how calculating probability further strengthens our results driven skill. Specifically, this lesson will cover: 1. The Difference Between Outcomes and Events 2. Probability Theory 3. Determining Probability Terms to Know Formulas to Know 1. The Difference Between Outcomes and Events As we have discussed earlier, we are exposed to probabilities on a daily basis. For example, what is the probability of winning a bet, getting the flu, or a small car accident? When discussing "probability," there are a couple key terms we need to understand first. In probability, we define an outcome as the singular result of some random process. EXAMPLE When you roll a die, the number facing up is the outcome, such as
