The ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes when all possible outcomes are equally likely
A
experiment
B
Fundamental Counting Principle
C
experimental probability
D
theoretical probability
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of an event occurring is defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the number of possible equally likely total outcomes in a given situation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another way to define probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of all possible outcomes. The enumeration of all possible outcomes is called as the sample space.

Detailed explanation-3: -Odds definition: The probability of the event occurring divided by the probability of the event not occurring.

Detailed explanation-4: -The theoretical probability formula is equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of probable outcomes. This formula is expressed as follows: Theoretical Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes.
