In this class, students will explore the mathematical principles behind probability and how psychology influences our decision-making in uncertain situations. Using examples like the Monty Hall Problem and the Gambler’s Fallacy, we’ll dive into the math of probabilities and examine why human intuition often clashes with statistical logic. Students will engage in hands-on simulations to experience these concepts firsthand, while learning how understanding probability can lead to more rational decision-making in real life.
