Good websites/resources to learn Probability

[FarAwaySS2]

I was wondering if anyone new any good resources or sites that I can use to grasp probability. I'm pretty weak in this area, so I'd probably need a lot of things spelled out for me. Will appreciate just about any suggestion!

Thanks!

Khan Academy and vTextbook are the two obvious websites, of course. Otherwise, I'd probably take it as a "see how you go" kind of thing. The probability section of 3/4 methods is very different to probability you've experienced in previous years, so you might not struggle as much. What in particular do you struggle with in probability? Why do you feel you this is a weak area for you?

Firstly, Congrats on becoming a mod! Anyway, Is 3/4 Probability easier than combinations and permutations from 1/2? I found Year 10 and 11 probability really hard because I'm not very good at deciphering really long passages of probability questions...

"Easier" is an incredibly subjective word, and I never use it. Ever. However, I can say that you'll never see combination or permutations again, with a much bigger emphasis being placed of probability distributions. If you're unsure about whether you'll find this easier or harder, my suggestion is to actually look ahead and see what you make of it.

I have been working a few chapters ahead of my class, I've nearly finished AOS1. I will probably get to Probability sometime during term 1 holidays. If I need help, I know where to go!

Thanks for taking the time out to answer my question!

i didnt touch my school textbook for probability and just watched all the vtextbook videos and worked alongside them and it worked !!! probability was my highest scoring sac (partly because my bound reference had the same questions with different numbers in them LMAO) but mostly cos of vtextbook !!
