For students from grade 5 to college and beyond – you work through problems with a tutor that sees where you’re stuck, can sketch right on your screen, asks the right questions, and guides you to real a-ha moments. Forget memorizing formulas. Brilliant is designed to build real understanding and help you excel. It’s there when you need it, adapts to how you think, and makes learning feel like a fun challenge instead of a chore. Master everything from foundational math and algebra to college-level calculus, Python, computer science, AI, neural networks, algorithms, data analysis, physics, and more. Join over 10 million people using Brilliant to reach their learning goals. WHY BRILLIANT WORKS - One-on-one learning for all
 Private tutoring is the most effective way to learn, but it’s expensive, hard to schedule, and out of reach for most families. Brilliant’s tutor works with you one-on-one, every single day, for a fraction of the cost. No scheduling. No waiting. Just learning.
 - Like someone sitting next to you Brilliant’s tutor can see what’s on your screen and react in real time, from highlighting parts of a problem to creating visualizations that bring hard concepts to life. - Expert-crafted curriculum Every course is crafted by our team of human experts from top institutions around the world. And with new and updated courses added every month, there’s always something new to explore. - Learning that adapts to you Brilliant’s tutor personalizes your experience in real time, adjusting to your skill level, filling gaps before they become problems, and helping you build confidence as you go. - Build true problem-solving skills Brilliant doesn’t give you answers. It guides you through problems and to your own a-ha moments. So while you’re learning, you’re also building critical thinking and analytical skills – and having fun. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING “Koji doesn’t judge. It feels like talking to the most patient teacher.” — Alan “Going through a lesson with Koji is more active, interactive, and guided than traditional learning.” — Lory “She read the problem out loud and figured it out on her own — ‘Oh! I know! Never mind, Mom, I got it!’ I'm seeing those breakthroughs more often.” — Arianne Send feedback to ios@brilliant.org.

About

Probability Practice

Features
Read full description

Probability Practice is an educational application designed to help students understand and practice probability concepts through structured quizzes and mock tests. The app provides topic-wise questions covering fundamental and advanced probability topics commonly studied in mathematics and statistics courses. Students can practice conceptual questions, solve numerical problems, and monitor their performance using statistics. The app supports independent learning and systematic revision of probability concepts. Topics Included 1. Basic Concepts of Probability Random experiments, sample space, events, simple and compound events, and equally likely outcomes. 2. Types of Events Mutually exclusive events, exhaustive events, complementary events, independent and dependent events, and equally probable events. 3. Classical Probability Classical probability definition, probability value range, certain and impossible events, complement rule, and basic probability problems. 4. Addition Theorem of Probability Addition rule, mutually exclusive events, general addition theorem, union and intersection of events, and related problems. 5. Conditional Probability Definition of conditional probability, conditional probability formula, dependent and independent events, multiplication rule, and problem solving. 6. Bayes’ Theorem Concept of Bayes’ theorem, prior and posterior probabilities, likelihood, total probability rule, and applications. 7. Random Variables Definition of random variables, discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions, probability mass functions, and probability density functions. 8. Mathematical Expectation Expected value, properties of expectation, variance, standard deviation, and expectation-related problems. 9. Probability Distributions Bernoulli trials, binomial distribution, mean and variance of binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, and distribution-based numerical problems. 10. Applications of Probability Applications in games, statistics, risk analysis, reliability analysis, decision theory, and real-life situations. Key Features Topic-wise probability practice quizzes Mock tests for overall assessment Daily quiz for regular practice Performance statistics to track progress Structured topics for systematic learning Simple and distraction-free interface Probability Practice is suitable for students studying probability in mathematics, statistics, and related fields who want structured practice and regular revision.
