What I use is ArtOfProblemSolving. It gives you apolications of knowledge and use of common sense and logic to solve problems. They're easy in the first few levels of the subject but as you go onto different levels, they apply different concepts and get much harder.

Duolingo is a free app and website that teaches languages. So far they only have European languages(including German) and I'm learning Swedish on there right now :)

SilverShade, I'll tell you now, probability is considered college level. I'm usually pretty good at math, and I barely understand it myself. You might have trouble finding someone on here who can help you, so I would strongly recommend asking people you know in real life for help as well.

I had prohability in school and at university, but the german school system is different.
I have a problem with understanding the situation though. Is it about taking cloth out of a bag or what exactly?

I have a pretty good understanding of probability, but I'm not understanding the question. Is this exactly how the problem is given to you in your work?

Ill put the question like this:

you work at a clothing workshop and on the last day of every month every staff member is able to grab a company package.
a package consists of either 1 of 2 different shirt,1 of 12 different colored pairs of socks, and 1 of 3 different colors of pants.
you want a specific combination of colors (I have calculated that and its a 1/72 chance)

the company though controls the amount of packages you can get since it only has so many(let's just say 1000),
you only have a 5% chance of getting to get 5 packages, 10% to get 4, 45% to get 3, 30% to get 3 and 10% to get 1.

What is the probability of getting your combination this month?
what is the probability of getting your bombination this year?


(basically you get 1-5 packages and 1/72 chance it will be what you want)

(also what would the probability be if it could either be a polo shirt or a t shirt, long pants or short pants and knee-high socks or ankle socks(still only get 3 total pieces, 1 of each)

i am on mobile, so i cannot give you a lengthy explanation, however this page may help. if you have any questions about converse probability, or what they are explaining, feel free to ask again, or pop me a PM.
