Probability is soo confusing!

Why is probability so confusing! I hate it so much, even the most basic questions are a struggle. Anyone else feel the same? They require so much thinking but I wont have that time in the exam. Argh!

i've been looking at a couple of questions per exercise in probability and it was quite easy except i got confused at chapter 17 towards the end>_> so yeah i'm in the same boat with that right now.. i'll relook again another day and maybe the confusion will lesson.

and practice makes perfect, practice at those questions until you are speedy!

i'm kinda looking forward to it.  it is rather easy from what we did in year 11, and at least it means something and has real life application.  i  still haven't and don't look like finishing off the final chapter of calculus until after the umat, so I won't be starting prob for another 4 weeks at least. :(

The discrete probability stuff can be pretty confusing, but once you get to continuous probability it gets easier.
