Explanation:

Probability is classified into two types:

1.Theoretical probability: This is based on what is expected to happen in an experiment, without actually conducting it.

2.Experimental probability: It is based on the data which is obtained after an experiment is carried out.

Definition: Formula of probability:

The probability of an event can be calculated by probability formula by simply dividing the favorable number of outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
The value of the probability of an event or experiment to happen can lie between \$0 and 1\$ because the favorable number of outcomes can never cross the total number of outcomes.
