    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.

    @jeannielo7346 6 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.

      These questions can be tough. Glad this was helpful for you. Other common questions involve a deck of playing cards, which I did not cover in this lesson. So that's something else you should know for probability questions.
