We'll start by calculating the likelihood of events by counting possible outcomes from drawing cards, rolling dice and tossing coins. Once you can calculate probabilities, you can also calculate expected values, and use them to optimize decision-making.

With an intuitive grasp of the basics of probability established, we'll delve into the more formal language of probability, including conditional probability, joint and disjoint events and Venn diagrams.
