Probability

Probability is one of the most difficult areas of mathematics to define, explain, or understand. Probability can be loosely defined as the chance that an event will happen.

Introductory Probability

• dependent probability
• independent probability

Types of Probability

Part of a comprehensive understanding of basic probability includes an understanding of the differences between different kinds of probability problems.

• algebraic probability
• combinatoric probability problems involve counting outcomes.
• free probability is hard (I think...) and involves probability spaces in which random variables do not commute.
• geometric probability
