    Let me be honest after dozens of other TH-cam videos trying to explain to me how "simple" probability can be explained, this is the ONE (ONLY) video that actually got me to VISUALIZE how probability works. Shoutout to your drawings, they are masterpieces of art.

    @jeannielo7346 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You presented the concept of probability in a clear way. But there is a misconception in the month problem since each month contains different number of days. We should calculate the probability based on the number of days, instead of the number of months. For a year with 365 days, P(er) = (30+31+30+31)/365 = 122/365.
