The Chapter Five in "The Drunkard’s Walk" is "The Dueling Laws of Large and Small Numbers". At first‚ it discusses the problem about what is the connection between probability and observed results‚ however‚ true randomness does occur in nature. To learn more about the randomness‚ people found that nature’s perfect quantum dice. According to Benford’s law‚ numbers cumulative biased towards lower digits. This law can be used to identify fraud in dollar amounts. Then‚ the writer introduces two definitions

Module code: BSS002-6 Module Name: Business Data Analysis Submission: 30 November‚ 2012 I my class I learn how to simulate data to solve a problem. I learn to use excel and some function in it these are =SUM() = RAND() =AVERAGE() =STDV() =RANDINV() =VLOOKUP() and few more . These are widely used function when I simulated data in excel. In task 1 I find out how to calculate or forecast how much card should we print. I use a random variable with =RAND( function and use

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

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
