a simple introduction, which a reader with 6th grade math skills can understand
Bronzefinge took a poorly written article on [[probability]] and made it even more incomprehensible. How about starting over and giving a simple introduction, so that a reader with 6th grade math skills can understand it?
We might start with something like:
* The probability of event A is the number of ways event A can occur divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
Coin tosses, cards, etc.
I'm a math expert, but that doesn't mean I enjoy writing about it. Let's try again! :-) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:17, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
