    Let me be honest after dozens of other UA-cam videos trying to explain to me how "simple" probability can be explained, this is the ONE (ONLY) video that actually got me to VISUALIZE how probability works. Shoutout to your drawings, they are masterpieces of art.

    You presented the concept of probability in a clear way. But there is a misconception in the month problem since each month contains different number of days. We should calculate the probability based on the number of days, instead of the number of months. For a year with 365 days, P(er) = (30+31+30+31)/365 = 122/365.

    Hi sir. Can you tell me how we find the theoretical probability. Is there any formula. Do you have video about it. Thank

    • @EricBuffington
      @EricBuffington  4 роки тому +1

      This is the theoretical probability. It is just another way of saying the mathematical probability of something happening. The formula is the favorable event/total possible outcomes. The other kind of probability is experimental probability that is when you actually try it out and document the results.

      That's funny that you ask. I took a course in college about avoiding test anxiety and making good guesses on tests, and I was thinking of making videos for those topics. Probably won't be up and running this week, but I'll put something together for you.
