1.) MAI’s proposal directly gives Steve the conditional probabilities he needs (e.g.‚ probability of a successful venture given a favorable survey). Although the information from Iverstine and Kinard (I&K) is different‚ we can easily use Bayes’ theorem to on I&K information to compute the revised probabilities. As such‚ does not need any additional information from I&K. 2.) Steve’s problem involves three decisions. First‚ should he contract the services of an outside research agency? Second‚

FOURDefine the terms conditional probability and joint probability. FIVE Calculate probabilities applying the rules of addition and multiplication. SIXUse a tree diagram to organize and compute probabilities. SEVEN Calculate a probability using Bayes theorem. What is probability There is really no answer to this question. Some people think of it as limiting frequency. That is‚ to say that the probability of getting heads when a coin is tossed means that‚ if the coin is tossed many times‚ it is likely

Probability theory Probability: A numerical measure of the chance that an event will occur. Experiment: A process that generates well defined outcomes. Sample space: The set of all experimental outcomes. Sample point: An element of the sample space. A sample point represents an experimental outcome. Tree diagram: A graphical representation that helps in visualizing a multiple step experiment. Classical method: A method of assigning probabilities that is appropriate when all the experimental

A. ENG237-02: Transients in RC and RL Circuits 0. Introduction The objective of this experiment is to study the DC transient behaviors of RC and RL circuits. This experiment has divided into 6 parts: 1. Charging curve from measured data ( R = 10M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 2. Draw the charging curve by the graphical method 3. Discharging curve from measured data ( R = 5M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 4. Draw the discharging curve by the graphical method 5. Display of the charging and discharging

included pupils of Plato‚ who was a philosopher and one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. Euclid thought geometry in Alexandria and opened a school of mathematics there. He also wrote Data‚ which was a collection of geometrical theorems; Phenomena‚ a description of the heavens; and The Division of the Scale‚ which is a mathematical discussion of music. But yet again many historians believe many of these works (other than the Elements) were spuriously credited to him‚ others disagree

The cost C(x) of the pipeline as a function of x is: C(x) = distance along north shore * pipeline cost over land + distance under the river * pipeline cost under land The distance along the north shore is 6-x The distance (by Pythagorean theorem) under the water is sqrt( 2^2 + x^2) So‚ C(x) = (6-x)*200000 + sqrt(4 + x^2) * 400000 [You should graph this] To find the value of x where C(x) is minimized‚ we set dC/dx = 0‚ [Reminder - use the chain rule to differentiate the second term]

bad‚ which parallels to the same concept intertwined with human nature. In the story "Greasy Lake" by T. Coraghessan Boyle‚ the author portrays this through the use of a lake by demonstrating its significance and relationship to the characters. At one time‚ the Greasy Lake was something of beauty and cleanliness‚ but then came to be the exact opposite. Through his writing‚ Boyle demonstrates how the setting can be a direct reflection of the characters and the experiences they encounter. The lake

With the help of tape measures and rules small distances in the everyday household are easy to measure. As distances grow bigger so do the devices and ways in which the distance is to be measured. In math rulers make sense as well as Pythagorean Theorem; so what about astronomy? Astronomers have a totally different format of information of which they are studying. It only makes sense that the astronomers would have a totally different way of which they measure. Two measurements astronomers use are
