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

The family here at the Pacific City Volunteer Fire Company not only fight fires and save lives but also participate and run many events in our community. For example‚ each year the department puts together a 5k fun run in which the proceeds go to families who have lost their homes

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

1) Describe two main differences between classical and empirical probabilities. a. Classical probabilities are based on assumptions; Empirical probabilities are based on observations. b. Classical probabilities do not require an action to take place; Empirical probabilities have to have been “performed”. 2) Gather 16 to 30 coins. Shake and empty bag of coins 10 times and tally up how many head and tails are showing. Number of coins: 20 * Consider the first toss‚ what is the

Factor of safety and probability of failure Introduction How does one assess the acceptability of an engineering design? Relying on judgement alone can lead to one of the two extremes illustrated in Figure 1. The first case is economically unacceptable while the example illustrated in the drawing on the right violates all normal safety standards. Sensitivity studies The classical approach used in designing engineering structures is to consider the relationship between the capacity C (strength

The contingency tables and relative frequency probabilities in this exercise are based on the Springdale Shopping Survey database. Information like that gained from the two parts of this exercise could provide helpful insights into the nature of the respondents‚ their perceptions‚ and their spending behaviors. In particular‚ part 2 examines how conditional probabilities related to spending behavior might vary‚ depending on the gender of the respondent. Based on the relative frequencies for responses
