How to Compare Probabilities in Powerpoint

A probability is the chance that a particular situation will occur, and is expressed as a percentage or a proportion. Comparison probabilities are used to illustrate a particular difference in probabilities between two groups. For example, the probability of a girl choosing a career in mathematics versus a boy choosing a career in mathematics. Microsoft PowerPoint comes with a built in comparison slide that you can tailor to your needs.
