Counting and Probability

Our last unit is on counting and probability.  "Counting" covers all the ways to count how events could happen (example: how many different ways can two dice be rolled).  "Probability" is a way of quantifying how often what you want to happen is probable given all the ways things could happen (example: how often you can roll doubles on dice).
