Abstract:
Basic probability concepts are difficult for some students to understand initially. Through the use of a Venn diagram disguised as a pizza, we will discuss how to explain introductory probability concepts. Students are able to answer probability questions, including conditional probability, by simply looking at a picture. This tool not only enhances learning but retention as well.
