Probability audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Probability" — noun, pronounced /ˌprɒbəˈbɪləti/, with the stress on "bil".
Narrator: Probability is how likely it is that something will happen.
Narrator: In plain English, it's the odds.
Narrator: It comes from the Latin probabilis, provable or likely, from probare, to test.
Narrator: A common collocation is "in all probability", which describes something very likely.
Narrator: It differs from "possibility", because possibility says it could happen, while probability says how likely.
Narrator: In maths, probability is written as a number from zero, impossible, to one, certain.
Narrator: Statistics, finance, weather forecasting and gaming all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: probability measures likelihood.
