    Let me be honest after dozens of other RUclips 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.

    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 года назад +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.

    @jeannielo7346 7 лет назад

    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.
