Week Four Discussion 2 1. In your own words‚ describe two main differences between classical and empirical probabilities. The differences between classical and empirical probabilities are that classical assumes that all outcomes are likely to occur‚ while empirical involves actually physically observing and collecting the information. 2. Gather coins you find around your home or in your pocket or purse. You will need an even number of coins (any denomination) between 16 and 30. You do not

Case Study: Blake Electronics CASE: 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

TUI THOMAS J. COBB MAT 201 Module 1 – Case Assignment Dr. Alfred Basta Mat 201 Module 1-Case Assignment Thomas J. Cobb 1. Suppose you have 4 nickels‚ 6 dimes‚ and 4 quarters in your pocket. If you draw a coin randomly from your pocket‚ what is the probability that: a. You will draw a nickel? The probability of someone drawing a dime would be 4/11 or 36%. b. You will draw a dime? The probability of some drawing a nickel would be 6/11 or 54%

plant during a day if no observations have been made? What if there is icy weather? It is hard to fully understand all possible factors that can effect or trigger an event and how they interact with each other. Observations are always a description of the past and is not always accurate in forecasting the future. E.g. Icy weather is not a thing you can measure and span over a wide range of weather conditions including

Probability 2 Theory Probability theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with probability‚ the analysis of random phenomena. (Feller‚ 1966) One object of probability theory is random variables. An individual coin toss would be considered to be a random variable. I predict if the coin is tossed repeatedly many times the sequence of it landing on either heads or tails will be about even. Experiment The Experiment we conducted was for ten students to flip a coin one hundred times

Option 1 - Jackson County Judges Jackson County judges try thousands of cases per year. In an overwhelming majority of the cases disposed‚ the verdict stands as rendered. However‚ some cases are appealed‚ and of those appealed‚ some of the cases are reversed. Jackie Chan of The Star Tribune conducted a study of cases handled by Jackson County judges over a three-year period. In the Excel file‚ Judges‚ are the results for the 182‚908 cases handled (disposed) by 40 judges in Common Pleas Court‚ Domestic
