Finite Mathematics covers mathematical concepts and techniques applicable to business and social sciences, including matrix algebra, linear programming, and probability.
Researchers use finite math to design surveys, analyze results, and predict trends. Probability and statistics help make sense of what people think and do.
Surveys are carefully planned using sampling techniques, while matrices help organize responses. Probability is used to interpret the results and determine reliability.
Governments and organizations use these insights to shape policies and improve services.
A polling organization uses random sampling and probability to estimate election outcomes.
A sociologist organizes survey data in a matrix to study patterns in responses.
