This book is written for high school and college students learning about probability for the first time. It will appeal to the reader who has a healthy level of enthusiasm for understanding how and why the various results of probability come about. All of the standard introductory topics in probability are covered:combinatorics, the rules of probability, Bayes’ theorem, expectation value, variance, probability density, common distributions, the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, correlation, and regression. Calculus is not a prerequisite, although a few of the problems do involve calculus. These are marked clearly. - Features 150 worked-out problems in the form of examples in the text and solved problems at the end of each chapter. - Includes 100 figures to help illustrate important concepts. - Frequently provides helpful supplementary remarks that are separated off from the main text. - Concludes with appendices that develop the mathematical tools needed for derivations in the text. - A valuable resource in any introductory probability course, either as the main text or as a supplement.
