Probability
  1. Probability scales
    1. Probability
      1. In maths, probability means how likely something is to happen
        1. Probabilities are often shown on a scale with impossible at one end and certain at the other
      2. Random
        1. If a person is chosen at random it means every person has an equal chance of being chosen
      3. How the theory works
        1. Playing card example
          1. A pack of playing cards has four suits
            1. There are two red suits, diamonds and hearts
              1. There are two black suits, clubs and spades
                1. There is also two joker cards in every pack of cards
                  1. Each suit has 13 cards
                    1. Because each suit has 13 and there are 4 suits, it means that there are 52 suit cards and 2 jokers bringing the total to 54 cards
        2. Experiments and games
          1. When the theory doesn't help
            1. Relative frequancy
              1. Dean estimates the probability of throwing a six with his dice
                1. He says that it is 35/100
                  1. This type of estimation is called relative frequency
            2. Symbols used with probabilty
              1. (P)
                1. This means probabilty
                2. \
                  1. This is used with fractions
                  2. '
