Bayes’ theorem describes the relationships that exist within an array of simple and conditional probabilities. For example: Suppose there is a certain disease randomly found in one-half of one percent (.005) of the general population. A certain clinical blood test is 99 percent (.99) effective in detecting the presence of this disease; that is‚ it will yield an accurate positive result in 99 percent of the cases where the disease is actually present. But it also yields false-positive results in 5

Flip-Flops Do Not Fit Politicians I am an independent voter‚ but even I can tell flip-flops and politicians do not go well together. As for presidential candidate Mitt Romney‚ one may need to second guess the correlation of the two. Extensive research of the two candidates running for presidency in the 2012 election led me to conclude Mitt Romney cannot be depended on to keep a definitive opinion‚ on how he plans to approach certain issues our nation faces. His character displays indecisiveness

Suppose we take a random sample of size 100 from a discrete distribution in this manner: A green die and a red die are thrown simultaneously 100 times and let Xi denote the sum of the spots on the two dice on the ith throw‚ i = 1‚ 2‚...100. Find the probability that the sample mean number of spots on the two dice is less than 7.5. n = 100 µ = 7 µ[pic] = 7 σ = 2.41 σ[pic] = 2.41 /[pic] |X |2 |3 |4

In short‚ this form of Sample Data is‚ from my own opinion‚ nothing more than probability theories.

Probable Probability; Rolling Dice Statistics is based upon based upon common sense and logic‚ in a complex data. Probability is just one of the many topics in statistical mathematics. It is used in our daily life‚ all over the world. Even games‚ require taking a chance and using probability to determine the predicted outcomes. Probability is the measure of how often a particular event will happen if something is done repeatedly‚ (596 Webster’s Dictionary). You cannot determine
