Probability is a. the measure of the likelihood of something happening b. the act of risking something of material value on an uncertain outcome c. the ratio of desired outcomes to undesired outcomes d. the act of winning a bet

The most general outcome would be A

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the best answer, but it has problems as well. Probability represents the number of outcomes that you want / the total number of outcomes.

B sometimes B is the answer. The insurance industry is built on that sort of statistical outcome.

C Sometimes that's true too. Sometimes when you do a conditional probability that will be the outcome.

D Horse racing would say this is the answer. (It's not, but they will tell you it is).

Hello there! Your answer would be A. the measure of the likelihood of something.

Probability is how likely a certain event is to happen. Out of the options given, A is the best choice. B is describing gambling, putting in a value to get an outcome; C is describing a value quotient, and D is describing a different concept entirely.

I hope this helps and have a great day!

the probability is 0
