 * Probability of an event happening = ||  || Number of ways it can happen ||

so heres a pretty basic way to under stand probability, lets say there is a bag of candy. there are 54 red peices and 1 blue peice, the probability of you pulling a blue peice is little to none, (1 out of 54) but there is still that little chance, so if you ever asked to try to get the one blue candy to win a million dollars you might as well try! -Matt Davis
