Question

can someone teach me how to do probability? uhh maybe @Ishaan94 ? :P

Answer 1

Me too, what do you wanna know? :D

Answer 2

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow P(Event) = {\text{Preferred number of outcomes} \over \text{Total number of outcomes} } }\)

Answer 3

Event is a thing that will happen.
Outcome is what may happen.

Answer 4

The most basic way to learn probability is through the examples of a die.

Answer 5

Okay, do you want a problem @lgbasallote ?

Answer 6

If you roll a die, what is the probability of getting a 1, and then a 6, then a 4?

Answer 7

Another concept of probability is that if we use the word or, the probabilities of each outcome add.

Answer 8

Are you looking for tutorial on Combinatorics?

Answer 9

use the word 'OR'*

Answer 10

How to do probability? What kind of probability?

Answer 11

If we use the word 'AND', then the probability of outcomes multiply.

Answer 12

inky do a tutorial on probability, please. Combinatorics one.

Answer 13

No, too bored lol

Answer 14

In this example: 1, then 4, then 6:

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 6} * {1 \over 6} * {1 \over 6} = {1 \over 6^3} = {1 \over 216} }\)

Answer 15

:/

Answer 16

I dont think Zarkon or any of the high level users are gonna do one.

Answer 17

lol

Answer 18

*my math isn't good enough

Answer 19

What? I'm there with so many replies, and ignored?

Answer 20

I really cant teach Probability(Combinatorics). I commit too many mistakes. Maybe @Mimi_x3

Answer 21

Parth, find the probability of rolling a 3 5 times on a fair die when you roll the die 30 times

Answer 22

Maybe this will help http://i.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs/ch04.pdf

Answer 23

lgb why aren't you replying lol?

Answer 24

Do you want exact 5 times?

Answer 25

Parth the pdf you posted is probably computational combinatorics.

Answer 26

yes, exactly 5 times. Binomial prob.

Answer 27

Sigh..want me to die I am having problems with Binomial Probability myself; I can not teach but I can give you a solution to a specific problem..or give you questions lol

Answer 28

because you are all spamming me @Ishaan94

Answer 29

i just wanted to learn the dinklefidding probability =_=

Answer 30

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 6} * {5 \over 30} }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 6} * {1 \over 6} }\)

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow {1 \over 36} }\)

Not sure bout that, just an attempt

Answer 31

Probability is a very broad subject, igba.

Answer 32

You should know that probability is a broad topic you have to be specific on which one; Binomial Probability, normal probability or what?

Answer 33

Lol but your question is ambiguous, probability is such a vast topic.

Answer 34

fine nevermind :P

Answer 35

ill just learn my calculus...i just failed two quizzes =_=

Answer 36

igbiw, give us something solid, like a math problem.

Answer 37

haha when will people learn , when you open a thread with a broad open-ended question it hardly ends well :)
i can see if i can find you some good references

Answer 38

@dumbcow im just in class and i dont have time for broad topics :P i was just curious...i never knew it was broad

Answer 39

@lgbasallote , give a solid problem

Answer 40

nevermind :P

Answer 41

in that case...you will learn it soon enough
its the study of determining how likely an event is to occur, and it is broad because depending on what events you are trying to solve you can use anywhere from elementary math to advanced calculus

Answer 42

@dumbcow , what would fourier series go under?

Answer 43

im not too familiar with working with those but its a branch of Fourier analysis which involves solving the heat equation in physics type problems

Answer 44

So, that's after calculus?

Answer 45

oh yeah...as far as mathematics, yeah linear differential equations

Answer 46

also somewhat similar but more advanced than Taylor series from upper calculus

Answer 47

Yes, it's not in my textbook for calc, so where would I find it?

Answer 48

wikipedia has some stuff on it...or look up books on Fourier analysis (these will prob have intense math though)
