... The probability that a particular knee surgery is successful is 0.85. Find the probability that three knee surgeries are successful. Solution: The probability that each knee surgery is successful is 0.85. The chance for success for one surgery is independent of the chances for the other surgeries. P ...

In such cases, we use the concept of combinations that we learned in the last chapter. This method is best suited for problems where the order in whic ...

Applying the principal of inclusion and exclusion, we can compute that the probability that we see a circle on at least one top when we roll them is 1/3 + 1/3 − 1/9 = 5/9. We are experimenting to see if reality agrees with our computation. We throw the dice onto the ...

Ars Conjectandi
Ars Conjectandi (Latin for The Art of Conjecturing) is a book on combinatorics and mathematical probability written by Jakob Bernoulli and published in 1713, eight years after his death, by his nephew, Niklaus Bernoulli. The seminal work consolidated, apart from many combinatorial topics, many central ideas in probability theory, such as the very first version of the law of large numbers: indeed, it is widely regarded as the founding work of that subject. It also addressed problems that today are classified in the twelvefold way, and added to the subjects; consequently, it has been dubbed an important historical landmark in not only probability but all combinatorics by a plethora of mathematical historians. The importance of this early work had a large impact on both contemporary and later mathematicians; for example, Abraham de Moivre.Bernoulli wrote the text between 1684 and 1689, including the work of mathematicians such as Christiaan Huygens, Gerolamo Cardano, Pierre de Fermat, and Blaise Pascal. He incorporated fundamental combinatorial topics such as his theory of permutations and combinations—the aforementioned problems from the twelvefold way—as well as those more distantly connected to the burgeoning subject: the derivation and properties of the eponymous Bernoulli numbers, for instance. Core topics from probability, such as expected value, were also a significant portion of this important work.
