According to the classical view of probability theory, the probability of an event A is equal to the number of events favoring A divided by the total number of possible observations. This is represented as P(A) = n(A)/n(S), where n(A) is the number of events favoring A and n(S) is the total number of possible observations. Option B is the correct representation of this formula.
