I managed to not totally understand a few of the probability problems. And I have been studying them for a while and I still don't get them.

Anyone have any idea on where/how to study tthese probability problems?

Thanks for the help

Buy the Manhattan GMAT Word Translations guide. They make it relatively simple. The only type of probability problems they don't really do a good job of explaining are the coin flip problems, so if those are the types of probability problems you are having the most difficult time with, then you may be better served by finding a different book.

I don't believe its worth purchasing just for about two pages on probability but the best source for coin flip problems was the Princeton Review Math workout. The rest of it is not that great though, so you are better off just googling problems and learning from these forums.

Hi misterchipper,

I would suggest a very clear, concise n focused book on probability called 'Probability for Dummies'. This book is an excellent introduction to the field of probability. It does not go into higher level mathematical theory, but presents the subject in easy to understand language and sticks to areas of practical application. Great book for for those looking for a quick refresher of Probability concepts!

Hope this helps : )
