  1. Probability!! The idea of Probability

  2. I. Introduction • PROBABILITY MEASURES CHANCE • Chance is everywhere. • The math behind probability can be explained as follows: • Some events are random (coins, having children, rolling dice, shooting free throws, etc.), but they become PREDICTABLE in the long run. • The above is a description of the word RANDOM

  3. II. Definitions • Random: individual outcomes are uncertain, but there is nonetheless a regular distribution of outcomes in a large number of repetitions • Probability: the proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long series of repetitions

  4. III. Ideas about Randomness • The trials you conduct must be INDEPENDENT of one another • Probability is EMPIRICAL • Based on observations rather than pure logic • However, we will use mathematics to generalize and formulate this process (sections 6.2 and 6.3)

  5. Book Examples • Page 334 #6.4, 6.6
