Probability is introduced as a measure of the likelihood of random events. The foundational concept, illustrated with a fair coin flip [0:24], defines probability as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of equally likely possibilities [1:39]. For instance, the chance of getting heads on a coin flip is 1/2 [2:29], or 50%, because there are two equally likely outcomes (heads or tails) and only one desired outcome (heads) [2:04]. This can also be understood by envisioning the experiment performed an infinite number of times, where approximately 50% of the flips would result in heads [3:19].
