The fifth portion of the 25-part series introduces probabilities calculated from outcomes that are not equally likely. Class members use tables to calculate probabilities of events, add outcome's probabilities, and find complements. Pupils learn to calculate the probabilities of the individual events based upon the total number of outcomes and the number of outcomes for each criteria.
