We have investigated student difficulties in understanding and interpreting probability and its relevant technical terms as it relates to quantum measurement. These terms include expectation value, probability density, and uncertainty. From this research, it is evident that tstudents have difficulties in understanding these terms and often fail to differentiate among similar but different concepts. In addition, students' difficutlies with the concepts of probability often interfere with their understanding and applications of the Uncertainty Principle.
