The higher the probability of an event, the more certain we are that the event will occur. A simple example is the toss of a coin. The probability is 1/2 (or a 50% chance) of either "heads" or ...

The ' Monty Hall problem ' is one of the probability problems that is known for being difficult to understand even when the result is explained. Engineer Mikhail Paszkiewicz explains how to ...

In this note we wish to pass along an example that we have found useful when introducing the concepts of conditional probability and Bayes' Rule to undergraduate students. The advantages of this ...

Joint probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of two events occurring together and at the same point in time.

A discrete distribution is a statistical probability distribution that represents the possible discrete values a variable can take.

Mathematician Marcus du Sautoy demonstrates probability and the Monty Hall problem.
