Reflection: The great thing about Mathematics is that there are so many different forms and types of mathematics. My favorite form of mathematics is probability and stats. To me, probability and stats is the most interesting because it is the most applicable to real life applications, like with the stock market, calculating percent error, for medical testing for drugs and examinations and even in sports like baseball and football.
My Favorite problem:
The New York Mets are playing the New York Yankees, in Game 1 of the World Series, the Yankees are up 3-1 going into the bottom of the 9th inning. After 3 batters face the Yankees closer, the first batter strikes out, the second batter walks, and the third batter hits a double. The Mets have second and third with 1 out, but the worst part of the lineup is coming up. The average on base percentage of the next three batters is .313. Knowing the average OBP (on base percentage) of the next three batters, what are the chances (probability) that the Mets tie or win the game?
