Starting Probability


When my math course started with probability I did not know what to expect. I had spent very little time learning about it and grasping the concepts. I also learned just how many things in life are based around the laws of probability. Just consider casinos, gambling, genetics, computing, and you see all the mathematical probability that goes into it. When I started on my assignments the teacher stated that the mathematics involved in probability is not hard. It is grasping the concepts to set up the problems accurately to compute the probability that can be very difficult. As I worked on the problems she was entirely correct. The simplicity of the equations was nice. Just some simple addition, fractions, multiplication and division was all that was needed. Reading the questions and being able to set up the problems was a whole other obstacle to overcome. I am hoping that with some logical thinking I can become better at mastering the probability obstacles.
