bability of survival quick check
To quickly check the probability of survival, you can use the formula:
Probability of survival = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
For example, if you want to calculate the probability of surviving a car crash and there are 4 survivors out of a total of 10 people involved in the crash, the probability of survival would be:
Probability of survival = 4 (number of survivors) / 10 (total number of people involved) = 0.4 or 40% probability of survival.
