Hi there,

Thank you for your inquiry. I would be happy to recommend a book on probability for beginners. One highly recommended book is "A First Course in Probability" by Sheldon Ross. This book is a great introduction to the fundamental concepts of probability, including basic principles, random variables, and probability distributions. It also includes many examples and exercises to help solidify your understanding. Another good option is "Introduction to Probability" by Joseph K. Blitzstein and Jessica Hwang, which offers a more modern and intuitive approach to learning probability. Whichever book you choose, I hope it helps you on your journey to understanding probability. Happy reading!
