ExampleEach numeral on a die is equally likely to occur when the die is tossed.\xa0Sample space of throwing a die: { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0From this we can make conclusions such as the following:\tGetting a 3 on the toss of a die and getting a 5 on the toss of a die are equally likely events, since the probabilities of each event are equal.\tGetting an even number on the toss of a die and getting an odd number on the toss of a die are equally likely events, since the probabilities of each event are equal.\tGetting a 1, 2 or 3 on the toss of a die and getting a 4, 5 or 6 on the toss of a die are equally likely events, since the probabilities of each event are equal.
The chances of both the events occuring is equal.
