Prob/Stats Probability book for basic understanding

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on recommendations for learning combinatorics, probability theory, and related topics at a high school or undergraduate level. Key suggestions include Morin's "Probability for the Enthusiastic Beginner," praised for its clear explanations and numerous exercises, and "Fat Chance: Probability from 0 to 1," which offers an engaging introduction to probability concepts. Both books are suitable for those seeking a foundational understanding of these subjects. Additional resources, such as the website probabilitycourse.com, are also mentioned for further exploration.

I want to learn topics related to combinatorics, probability theory, discrete and continuous random variables, joint pdf and cdf, limit theorems and point estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.

Any recommendations for books to learn those topics? High school level or undergraduate level is good and if possible I also prefer books intended for first exposure to these lessons

Thanks

For a basic intro I'd highly recommend Morin's Probability book.
