Probability is odds. It is the odds of a certain event occuring, often an example being pulling a certain card out of a deck. People use it today in many ways to predict the likelihood of anything from card counting at the tables in Vegas to the odds of a terror attack in your neighborhood. It is also used to make decisions such as military decisions (the premise/beginning of Eagle Eye movie)
Today, the probability is 70%, as reported on the local news.
every sector that wants to exploit the ignorant mass, (ab-)uses probability
That depends on how many dice you use. For example, if you use a single die, the probability is 100%.
Snap, bridge games use probability.
there is a large probability that mankind will come to an end
Companies use probability in many different ways. For example, they may use it for quality control, or for risk analysis.
The fact that it impinges on every aspect of daily life may have something to do with it. For example: Do I take an umbrella today? What are the chances that it will rain? Do I ask my boss for a raise today? What is the probability that she will sack me instead? Does the bank agree the loan? What is the probability that the borrower will default?
its easy idiots, you use it when guessing :)
False; the "or" is an additive property so the probability of rain or snow muse be greater than or equal to 0.65.
application of probability in computer science
Do I take an umbrella to work today? The answer depends on my assessment of the probability of rain - how much I trust the weather forecasts!
it is important to understand probability you may lose a good chance of winning something if you dont get or use probability at that time
