Probability  is the numerical measure of the chance of an outcome or event occurring.
When  all outcomes are equally likely to occur, the probability of the occurrence of a
given outcome can be found by using the following formula:
  probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible  outcome

Example 1: What is the probability that on two consecutive  rolls of a die the numbers will be 2 and then 3? (A die has sides numbered 1-6).Since the probability of getting a 2 on the first roll is 1/6 and the  probability of getting a 3 on the second roll is 1/6, and since the rolls are  independent of each other, simply multiply.
            1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36


Example 2: What is the probability of tossing heads three  consecutive times with a two-sided fair coin?
Because each toss is independent and the odds are 1/2 for each toss, the  probability is

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8
