{"synopsis":"What are the chances you are a math ace? Find out in this BrainPOP movie, in which Tim and Moby review the ins and outs of probability! You\u2019ll learn all about what probability means, why we study it, and how to express a probability on paper. Using dice as an example, Tim will show you how to determine the number of possible outcomes in a random event. You\u2019ll also learn how to use a grid to figure out probabilities in more complex situations. Probabilities aren\u2019t just for predicting dice rolls - the principles you\u2019ll learn are the basis for predictions in all kinds of complex systems, from the stock market to the weather! Odds are you\u2019ll get a lot out of this movie!","name":"Basic
