This problem proposed by Chevalier de Méré is said be the start of famous correspondence between Pascal and Pierre de Fermat.
They continued to exchange their thoughts on mathematical principles and problems through a series of letters.
Historians think that the first letters written were associated with the above problem and other problems dealing with probability theory.
Therefore, Pascal and Fermat are the mathematicians credited with the founding of probability theory (David, 1962).
The topic of probability is seen in many facets of the modern world.
The theory of probability is not just taught in mathematics courses, but can be seen in practical fields,
such as insurance, industrial quality control, study of genetics, quantum mechanics, and the kinetic theory of gases (Simmons, 1992).
