Praise for the First Edition: It is desirable that all citizens have an elementary understanding of probability [so] that they better appreciate the uncertainty that surrounds them. Anyone teaching such citizens should consider using this book because, through its applications, it conveys something of the power of probability. -D.V. Lindley, Mathematical Gazette, November 2006 This book was surprisingly refreshing and did a great job using real situations to motivate techniques for calculating discrete probabilities. -Technometrics, August 2006 The problems are graded from fairly straightforward to very challenging and the book is, for this reason at least, a welcome addition to the literature. -MAA Reviews, October 2005 This book would be excellent for a minicourse at a higher level of high school as well as a semester course at the college level. -Larry White, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), October 2005 The chosen approach is practical and entertaining. The book is a useful tool for teachers and anybody interested in basic ideas and applications of classical probability theory. -EMS Newsletter, June 2005
