Instruction to explain the probability table
Explanation:
An experiment consists of all possible outcomes.
For example: In the tossing a coin experiment, there are two possible outcomes like head and tail.
The probability of each outcome is
The table to represent the outcomes and the corresponding probabilities is
The above table shows the possible outcomes of an experiment and their corresponding probabilities.
Also, the sum of probabilities is
Therefore, the table represents a probability table.
Thus, a probability table is a table that lists all the possible outcomes of an experiment and the corresponding probability of each outcome occurring.
