It requires, in short, an understanding of probability. In this \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e, John Haigh introduces the ideas of probability--and the different philosophical approaches to probability--and gives a brief account of the history of development of probability theory, from Galileo and Pascal to Bayes, Laplace, Poisson, and Markov. He describes the basic probability distributions and discusses a wide range of applications in science, economics, and a variety of other contexts such as games and betting. He concludes with an intriguing discussion of coincidences and some curious paradoxes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376787259615,"sku":"9780199588480","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/in03_LnZ759780199588480.webp?v=1789225335"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/john-haigh.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
