Learn Probability: Find Detailed Math Websites Here!

[Numbnut247]

Hey guys, I don't know if this is actually the right place to post this but I am currently learning probability in high school (Grade 12 Principles of Math in BC, Canada) and I was wondering if there are some good math websites that are very detailed in the explanation of probability, such as conditional probability. Thank you very much

Hello! I understand the importance of having access to reliable and detailed resources when learning a new subject, such as probability. I would recommend checking out websites like Khan Academy, MathisFun, and Mathplanet for comprehensive explanations and practice problems on probability, including conditional probability. These sites not only provide detailed explanations, but also offer interactive tools and videos to help you understand the concepts better. Additionally, you can also check out online textbooks and resources from reputable educational institutions like MIT OpenCourseWare or Coursera. Good luck with your studies!

Hi there,

I can assure you that learning probability is a valuable skill that can be applied in many fields of study. I'm glad to hear that you are interested in finding detailed math websites to aid in your understanding of this topic.

Firstly, I would recommend checking out Khan Academy's probability section. They offer a comprehensive overview of basic probability concepts, as well as more advanced topics like conditional probability. Their explanations are clear and easy to follow, and they also provide practice problems to test your understanding.

Another great resource is the Math is Fun website, which has a dedicated section on probability. They cover a wide range of topics, including tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, and Bayes' Theorem. They also have interactive tools and games to help you visualize and understand these concepts.

In addition, the Mathplanet website has a section on probability that includes detailed explanations and examples. They also offer practice exercises and quizzes to test your knowledge.

Lastly, the University of California, Davis has a free online course on probability and statistics that covers conditional probability and other advanced topics. This course is taught by a professor and includes video lectures, practice problems, and quizzes.

I hope these resources help you in your learning journey. Remember to always practice and review regularly to solidify your understanding of probability. Best of luck!
