Overview"Chances Are: A Primer on Probability is an exciting new book that will appeal to two groups of people: the layman who wishes to increase his/her knowledge of probability, and the college student who needs further explanations on probability-a topic in his/her mathematics studies. Chances Are is full of real world-based topics that are divided conventionally, but the examples are from ""everyday life,"" including games of chance, insurance rates, lottery expectations, family gender composition, and other interesting settings for probability calculations. It's these everyday examples that make understanding probability and its importance intriguing and exciting. Neither algebra nor calculus is required in reading this book or doing the problems presented." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Susan F Wagner , Susan F.
