This book explores four real-world topics through the lens of
probability theory. It can be used to supplement a standard text in
probability or statistics. Most elementary textbooks present the
basic theory and then illustrate the ideas with some neatly
packaged examples. Here the authors assume that the reader has
seen, or is learning, the basic theory from another book and
concentrate in some depth on the following topics: streaks, the
stock market, lotteries, and fingerprints. This extended format
allows the authors to present multiple approaches to problems and
to pursue promising side discussions in ways that would not be
possible in a book constrained to cover a fixed set of topics. To
keep the main narrative accessible, the authors have placed the
more technical mathematical details in appendices. The appendices
can be understood by someone who has taken one or two semesters of
calculus.
