All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.

"Many people -- even experts in the respective domains -- significantly overestimate this probability," says LMU mathematics educationalist Karin Binder, one of the authors of the study.

The mathematician Daniel Litt has driven social media users to distraction with a series of simple-seeming but counterintuitive probability puzzles.

Conditional probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the occurrence of an earlier event. The second event is dependent on the first event.
