True
The probability of an event is defined to be the ratio of the number of cases favourable to the event - i.e. the number of outcomes in the subset of the sample space defining the event - to the total number of cases.
True
The greater the probability, the less likely the event is to occur.
False (more)
Probability theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with probability.
True
The two events “it rained on Monday” and “it did not rain on Monday” are independent events.
False (mutually exclusive)
