Probability and statistics are also used in simulations. For example, Monte Carlo simulations are used in finance to model the uncertainty of investment returns. By running thousands of simulations with different inputs, investors can estimate the potential range of outcomes for their investments. Reme...

The factorial, notated !, of a number is the product of that number and all the numbers less than it down to 1. Example: 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120 The Counting Rule If one event has m possible outcomes and a second independent event has n possible outcomes, then there are m x n to...
Mathematical statisticsGambling is the origin of the mathematical theory of probability. Cardano, who died in 1576, wrote a 15-page "gambler's manual" which treated dice and other problems; however, the effective beginning of the subject was in the year 1654. The Chevalier de Mere was ...
In summary, intuition often lets us down. Still, by applying the methods of probability and statistics, we can defy intuition. We can even resolve what might seem to many the greatest mystery of them all – why we seem so often to find ourselves stuck in the slower lane o...
