A Chance Is a Share of Cases

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A chance is a fraction between 0 and 1: the share of relevant cases in which a thing happens — 0 for never, 1 for always.

Show

A raffle drum holds 1,000 tickets and you bought 250: your chance is 250 out of 1,000 — 0.25.

Watch for

A count means nothing until its denominator is known — 250 tickets of how many?
