What Is Probability
Welcome to Math-Center.Org’s What is Probability page! Probability is the branch of mathematics that deals with how likely an event is to happen. In the middle school curriculum—especially in Grades 6 through 8—students learn to describe events as certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible, and use numbers from 0 to 1 to represent those chances. Probability helps us make predictions and informed decisions in everyday life—whether it’s figuring out the odds of winning a game, choosing a random item, or predicting the weather. At Math-Center.Org, we offer clear explanations, relatable examples, and plenty of online and printable practice to help students understand and apply probability concepts with confidence. Let’s dive into the world of chance and discover how math helps us reason about uncertainty!
