Introduction to Basic Probability

We introduce probability by building upon our understanding of set theory and counting theory. This includes discussing the basic formula for probability for equally likely outcomes, the difference between independent and dependent outcomes, and the additive and multiplicative rule in probability. We also dig into the probability of rolling dice.
