The definition of the word chance is commonly defined by society (T1 – Synecdoche) as “the possibility of something happening”. We measure chance by creating a determination of the likelihood that an occurrence will happen, as expressed typically by putting numbers together into a fraction.
Probability and chance is apart in our everyday lives. Every day we are making decisions and judgment based on the outcomes of chance and probability. Chance is derived from chance games played in the classical era. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, people needed help with their gambling skills, and advanced in chance.
Football teams begin the game by putting their fate into the hands of a chance; a coin is used to represent it (SP1). One team decides to place their bet on one side; the other, the corresponding side (SP2) (for the sake of this essay the two sides will be referred to as heads and tails) (S1 – Parenthesis). Now supposing that there are no other variables acting on the coin besides the toss, such as the coin being weighted on one side, the chances of that coin landing on either side are exactly 50/50, or when expressed in terms of just one side the chances are 1/2. The side of the coin that is facing up after the toss represents the winning party, and both parties have had their fates decided. But, let’s say now that the coin that was flipped lands facing heads up. And when flipped again, lands heads up. And again, and again, and again (S2 – Anaphora).

However on the other side, if there is a low possibility, in example closer to zero, then taking the risk is not worth it, and it will probability leave to a loss.

Probability helps people understand which choice is safe and which choices are risky. When someone has the fluent knowledge of probability, they can learn about the likelihood of future events, and prepare accordingly.
