Probability is all around us. For example, you have probably heard the saying, "You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than you have at winning the lottery", but have you looked at the numbers (statistics) or have you taken their word for it?

Find the probability of two events that are unlikely to happen: getting struck by lightning, winning the lottery, being attacked by a shark, creating a perfect March Madness bracket, etc. Compare the probability of the two selected events. Did the results surprise you?
