User:Bronzefinger took a poorly written article on probability and made it even more incomprehensible. How about starting over and giving a simple introduction, so that a reader with 6th grade math skills can understand it?
We might start with something like:
- The probability of event A is the number of ways event A can occur divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
Coin tosses, cards, etc.
