520 1 $a"Here, the reader can learn about the world of probability in an informal way. Lotteries and casino games provide a natural source of motivation, and these are carefully discussed with many worked examples to illustrate the key concepts and ideas from probability theory. The emphasis is on why probability works and how it can be applied." "The author introduces the reader to the law of large numbers, betting systems, random walks, the bootstrap, rare events, the central limit theorem, the multivariate normal distribution, the Bayesian approach, generating functions, and more."--Jacket.
