The Odds

Thomas J. Craughwell

0/5 ( ratings)

Who hasn't daydreamed about winning the lottery? Too bad it is nearly impossible—your chance of winning a multiple-state lottery is 1 in 120,000,000. You are more likely to be hit by lightning or see a U.F.O. than ever pick the lucky numbers. The odds helps you determine what's possible and what's a long shot. For example, your chances of being murdered are far smaller than your chances of getting away with murder . There's also a better chance that your child will catch a baseball at a major league game than actually become a professional athlete . Perfect for students of probability, infomaniacs, and trivia buffs, The Odds is certain to provide endless hours of entertainment and illumination.
