Chapter 9 - Probability

Predicting the future:

short history of probability by Prof Keith Devlin.

Another great introduction to Probability is the Movie 21 where students use their probability knowledge to beat the Casinos. Also, Prof Arthur Benjamin gives a good introduction to the maths of roulette.

Another great introductory activity is from the MATHS300 suite of lessons called Problem Dice.

Peter Woolfe does a full overview of probability here.
