Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. The ideas of probability are central to everyday life. Every day we take risks, such as crossing the road, insuring (or not insuring) our life or our possessions, betting on horses, or buying tickes for the National Lottery. However, most people have a poor understanding of this area, and a number of common fallacies exist - when the number 39 failed to appear for over a year in lottery draws, even respected financial analysts asserted that it was therefore more likely to appear soon. This book presents an entertaining and accessible guide to this area, that aims to help the reader to improve their ability to work with probabilities. By describing and analysing a wide range of situations in which chance plays a role, such as the lottery, football pools, roulette, and card games, the book guides the reader around many of the common pitfalls and controversies that surround probability. 330 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
