Probability

Probability or the likelihood of something happening is used daily in our conversation.

For example, soon or later, most of us have asked ourselves the following questions:

What is the likelihood that it is going to rain tomorrow?

What is the likelihood that when flipping a coin, it will land on tail?

What is the likelihood that a patient will die after a surgery?

The second question above is easier to answer.

Since a coin has two sides, it has 50 % chance of landing on tail.

It also has 50 % chance of landing on head

The first and the third question are not easy to answer since they may require a solid understanding of the topic.

My goal is to introduce you to the topic and help you develop and appreciation.

Any serious study start with a solid understanding of the fundamental counting principle, combination, and arrangement, which show you how to count

Therefore, I strongly encourage you to start studying these.
