The probability is 1/2 (or a 50% chance) of either "heads" or "tails". Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.

The Urinal Problem demonstrates a principle about how closely you can put objects or people together if you want to leave a minimum amount of space between them — as men do when they use the urinal.

To calculate the probability of an event, the total number of possible outcomes is often required. For simple situations, making a list or completing a sample space diagram is enough but in more ...

At best, the Win Probability graphic provides a crude quantification of what you’re already feeling. At worst, it gaslights you into second-guessing your sense of the game.

The sample space diagram shows there are 6 ways of making a 7, out of a total of 36 possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of rolling two dice and the sum being 7 is \(\frac{6}{36} = \frac ...

The problem Litt posted was: 'Suppose you have a urn containing 100 balls, n of which are red and 100-n are green, where n is uniformly distributed between 0 and 100. You randomly draw a ball from ...
