  • Lively, ultra-modern design; full-colour, each page a tailored design.

  • Direct written style gets to the point with clear language. Nothing needs to be read twice. No fluff.
  • Learning is reinforced through a 2-minute overview summary; 3-second summaries with super-quick Q&A
  • DIY tasks create a work plan to accomplish a task, do a self-check quiz, solve a problem, get students to what they need to show their supervisor.
  • Checkpoints in each section make sure students are nailing it as they go and support self-directed learning.
  • How do I know I’m done? Each Little Quick Fix wraps up with a finale checklist that allows the reader to self-assess they’ve got what they need to progress, submit, or ace the test or task.
 
1. What is probability and why does it matter?
 
2. How do I work out how probable things are?
 
3. What are the two essential uses of probability?
 
4. How do probabilities add up?
 
5. How do conditional probabilities describe aspects of society?
 
6. The DIY workbook

Another excellent book in this series, with the 'secret of probability is seeing it in everyday life in terms of trials and outcomes'. This takes some concepts that might be daunting to those students and researchers approaching the notion of probability for the first time making it accessible, informative and supportive. Highly recommended.
