    Frequently Asked Questions about Probability Theory

    Probability theory is a division of the mathematics field that's focused on analyzing random or uncertain distributions and phenomena. It doesn't predict a specific outcome from the data that's offered, but it tells analysts several different potential outcomes. It does this by applying mathematical equations to predict the things that may happen as a result of the information. Probability theory offers a scientific process that can be used to make an educated guess as to the most likely outcome, or event.‎

    It's important to learn about probability theory because it can help improve your critical thinking skills. It can also help you make better decisions and help you with taking control of potential outcomes and risks. This can be beneficial in both your professional career and in your everyday life.
