As an ASVAB tutor, I focus on the importance of including probability in my ASVAB prep course. Probability is one of the 15 subtopics that I cover in Arithmetic Reasoning. Probability is a topic in mathematics that examines the extent to which an event is likely to occur
Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. Examples of probabilities questions could deal with the probability of flipping a coin and landing on heads, probability of picking a certain card from a deck, probability of picking a certain marble from a bag, or the probability of landing on a certain number when rolling a die. The answers in probability questions are usually written as fractions. Sometimes the answers are written in decimal form. Do you know the probability of landing on heads 2 times if a coin is flipped 2 times? I will post the answer and explanation tomorrow.
