Calculating the Probability of Simple Events
You can calculate the theoretical probability of an event without actually testing it. Mathematicians who are new to probability or those who simply need to review will benefit from watching this video of a teacher solving two problems...

Probability Scale
Scale up your knowledge of probability. Young mathematicians watch a video that describes probability in terms of a scale. They see how probability is a value between zero and one, representing a continuum from impossible to certain.

Probability
Simple probability can be quite simple. An instructive video describes how to determine probabilities by considering possible outcomes. It uses a variety of contexts as examples to cover the topic.
