This week in Math 1512, we studied probability. After doing the homework I could see that probability is used in a lot of different real life situations. Take for instance the probability of the amount of different houses you can build on one piece of land, or all the different possible pizza combinations you can make using x-amount of ingredients. Knowing that probability is practically used in every individuals life at some point, made it much easier to study.
I found this chapter to be the most difficult so far. It took a lot of time to solve each problem. Also, you had to make sure you read the problem very carefully, so that you knew what the question was asking for. For example: Were you asked to find the the odds against getting something or the odds for getting it?
Below there are two links posted. The first link I used was to help me solve this weeks homework problems. Sometimes it is easier to find a link that clearly shows an example problem without many words, but rather more pictures. Also, it sometimes helps to see a couple different views on a particular concept. The second link is a link that I found that has a bunch of games that help younger students to understand probability better.
