    In the last problem, how did you get 5 over 3 = 10??? I heard you say, "5 common 3 is 10." What does that mean?? Thanks, great job teaching all of the other problems.

    I'm very late, but I'll just post this for others who are asking the same question. 5C3 or 5 choose 3 refers to how many combinations are possible from 5 items, taken 3 at a time. Find 5C3 from Al, Betty, Charlie, Delilah, Erin. The number of possible ways you could take 3 people from that list (Al, Betty, Charlie, Delilah, Erin) are: Al / Betty / Charlie, Al / Betty / Delilah, Al / Betty / Erin, Al / Charlie / Delilah, Al / Charlie / Erin, Al / Delilah / Erin, Betty / Charlie / Delilah, Betty / Charlie / Erin, Betty / Delilah / Erin, Charlie / Delilah / Erin. So 5 choose 3 = 10 possible combinations.

    I hate statistics so much. DImes and Nickles U.S & Canada: P(AorB)=p(A)+p(B) - p(A and B) to me that formula means you always get zero. How can you add A&B and then subtract A&B and get anything but zero? Don't tell me that's not what it means because that's how it is written. It should be Minus - P(A). or -P(B). My brain just can't take it. :( Looks like I'm dropping this course until next year.

    That's because + and * are different. Simplify things by just everything is 0.25. 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5. 0.25 * 0.25 = 0.0625. Even if we're talking about probability. 1 + 2 (A + B) = 3, 1 * 2 (A * B) is 2, they are not the same.

    Perhaps I didn't understand the last problem correctly. If I use binomial coefficients: (1/4)^3 * (3/4)^2. I get 8.78x10^-3, which is slightly off from the answer. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
