 * __Probability __** Probability is the study of unpredictable events and it has many important commercial and scientific applications. Life insurance companies, for example, have tables of life expectancy to help them calculate premiums, and businesses carry out surveys to help predict the probable market size for a given item. These are attempts to make fairly precise statements about the chance or probability of an event happening.
