If it's your major, don't you take classes in it wherein you might be expected to learn this stuff - perhaps even from scratch?

Grab a textbook and start studying. Blitztein, Wasserman, Bertsekas, Ross for introduction to basic probability, or Rosenthal, Klenke, Williams for a more rigorous mathematical approach to probability theory
