Formula and explanation

Formula: P(A) = (m)/(n) = (Number of elementary events favorable to A)/(Total number of elementary events in the sample space) Conditions: 1. The sample space of the experiment contains a finite number of elementary events. 2. Each elementary event is equally likely to occur. Explanation: This is the fundamental formula for calculating probability in classical probability models, where n is the total number of equally likely elementary events, and m is the number of elementary events favorable to event A.
