Features: Probability and statistics are closely related to our daily lives and are a field that can be learned and applied immediately. From the win or loss in dice games to basic statistical processing, we use illustrations to explain concepts, helping you unravel the mystery of "statistics" and overcome the challenges of "probability." The "Snail Science Series" books start from the basics, following a step-by-step approach to explain fundamental scientific principles and the latest scientific knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner. They emphasize learning methods and fostering interest. Approach it with questions from your daily life—no need to memorize theorems or rigidly recall formulas. It becomes less tedious and confusing, allowing you to easily enter the fascinating, colorful, and vibrant world of science. This book is one of them. It is written for readers who think, "I know the term 'probability and statistics,' but it doesn’t connect to real-world things, and I don’t understand it," or who often wonder, "I want to learn probability and statistics, but where should I start?" Our goal is to explain the basic knowledge of probability in a simple and clear way, with as much practical detail as possible. The examples used are also carefully chosen from things around us and everyday life. Mathematics may seem complex, but at its core, it is the accumulation of "simple facts." Probability and statistics are no different. We hope this book will help readers understand probability and statistics or spark their interest in learning.
