Resumo

A probabilidade destaca-se por conceitos teóricos, que são distantes de ser intuitivos. O primeiro passo deve identificar conceitos-chave; o segundo deve clarificar estes conceitos não só utilização de instrumentos matemáticos ilustrando o seu valor no contexto ou as suas propriedades específicas. Concentramo-nos em facetas da probabilidade que levam em conta a vinculação das suas várias interpretações ou aquela probabilidade de conexão à inferência estatística. Declaramos novamente problemas fundamentais com a probabilidade que resultam da especificidade do conceito e o objetivo com o qual “se projetou”. Esta especificidade necessita estratégias de Meta que vão longe além da instrução dos detalhes matemáticos. Neste artigo, concentramo-nos em aspectos teóricos de ideias-chave da probabilidade e como fornecer intuição e imagens que são sustentáveis.
