Ejournal 5: Sets and Probability

“There is always a chance to improve life”

Sets and probability is the second most hated math topic, only losing to calculus. But even if many hate it and seem pretty useless, it have some real life stuff to it.

Probability is the study of chance. Knowing probability can help change your life or save your life. In the casino, knowing the chances of winning could change your whole life. People who spend all their money on the slot machine would know not to if the odds of winning is one in a million whereas playing poker instead brings the winning rate closer to a 50-50 chance. If players are armed wit the logic and the knowledge, the majority of those bankrupt players could have been saved.

Sets is placing points up in groups. This is a form of organization of data where we can see which data overlaps two or three category or if its excluded from all categories. This method of organizing can further help research to exclude data from outside the category to simplify the research or help find probability significantly decreasing the rate of stress.

Even though it seem useless, just having the knowledge of probability could change your life and the use of sets will save your mental state from the enemy known as stress.
