How to Create a Probability Calculator in Python
I want to create a function that calculates the probability of an event based on the number of favorable and total outcomes.

Probability is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
- Probability Formula:
- Probability = Favorable Outcomes / Total Outcomes
- Code Example:
def probability(favorable, total): if total == 0: return 0 # Avoid division by zero return favorable / total # Example usage: favorable = 5 total = 10 print(f"Probability: {probability(favorable, total):.2f}") # Output: 0.50
- Handling Zero Division:
- Check for division by zero to avoid runtime errors.
- Explanation:
- The function computes probability and returns it as a float.
- Rounding can be adjusted based on desired precision.
