Do You Wanna Bet?: Your Chance to Find Out About Probability

It's impossible to know for sure which of these outcomes will occur. But you're more likely to predict them accurately if you know something about probability-the chances that something will or won't happen. From card games and coin-flipping to sports statistics and making and breaking codes, this book uses examples from everyday life to explain how probability is the key to understanding so much of the world around us.

Two boys find that the most ordinary events and activities such as card games, coin flips, sports scores and statistics, and even weather prediction are dependent on the subtle interplay of many factors of chance and probability.
