Conclusion & References
As one can see, probability is more prevalent in today’s world than meets the average person’s eye. It is applied all around the world in just about any situation one can think of. Though the mathematics behind it can easily become complicated, in the end, “Probability Theory is nothing but common sense reduced to calculation.” – Pierre-Simon Laplace.
