From this we can do the following: Goal of Probability Using Math to model certain situations, we seek to find the likelihood of a certain event happening (or not happening) From this we can do the following: Using known data of a certain event, we determine the likelihood of it occurring. (and how likely our guess is correct or incorrect)
