Taking many of the concepts he has covered in the last few videos, including probability, combinations, and conditional probability, Sal uses the example of fair and unfair coins in a bag to show various probability problems. Students...

This video is an introduction to permutations. Sal shows  two different examples, defines the mathematical notation for permutations, and derives a formula for finding a permutation without repetition of choices. He tries to convey an...

It all comes back around in this video, where Sal explains the relationship between permutations, combinations, and probability. Going back to his example of a bag of coins, Sal determines the likelihood of getting different combinations...

What is the probability that two people out of thirty have the same birthday? Sal tackles this problem with his characteristic skill and casual attitude. Students will find his process easy to follow - and the solution to the problem...

Count the benefits of using the resource. The second installment of a 21-part module focuses on the fundamental counting principle to determine the number of outcomes in a sample space. It formalizes concepts of permutations and...
