Explanation:
Probability is a way of expressing
knowledge or belief that an event will occur or has occurred.

Frequency
probability is the interpretation of probability that defines an event's probability as the limit of its relative frequency in a
large number of trials.
Definition
Frequentists talk about probabilities only when dealing with
well-defined random experiments. The set of all possible outcomes
of a random experiment is called the sample space of the experiment. An event is defined as a particular subset of the sample space that
you want to consider. For any event only one of two possibilities can happen;
it occurs or it does not occur. The relative frequency of occurrence of an
event, in a number of repetitions of the experiment, is a measure of the probability of that event.
Thus, if nt is the total number of trials and nx is the number of trials where the event x occurred, the probability P(x) of the event occurring will be approximated by the relative
frequency as follows:
