Summary
Probability can get much harder than the problems we explored. However, our categorization of
the areas of math that we can use to tackle these problems helps demystify probability at any level.
Once we recognize these problems for what they are – counting, geometry, and algebra – we can
be more confident and straight-forward in choosing the ways in which we approach probability
problems.
Now that you see the power of intelligent classification, you can try to apply it to other areas
of mathematics and other problem solving subjects!
