Personal life example: Throughout my day, I often use probability. In the morning, I use it while driving to work. Traffic or an accident on the road decreases the probability of making it to work on time. The most recent thing I've been using probability for is the completion of my schoolwork and assignments. If I get home from work at 1700 and have reading material from two classes to complete, each averaging an hour at the least, there is a low probability I'll be able to complete each before midnight on the due date. Proper time management would increase the probability to what would be 10% to 90% if properly managed through the week. Work-life example: A work-life example of probability is used when I screen patients for illnesses. I want to preface this by saying I am not a doctor. I am a technician who takes patient histories, vitals, and charts. I do not make formal diagnoses.
