Assignment 3: PROBABILITY PROJECT Probability Project Strayer University Math 104 Professor Stephen Vest December 16‚ 2012 In this writing assignment I will explain how I determined the odds of winning a Texas Hold’em game or not‚ where I have a six and seven of diamonds. My opponent has a ten of clubs and a ten of spades. At the turn or fourth street‚ the cards on the table are a three of diamonds‚ four of clubs‚ nine of spades‚ and a ten of diamonds. These cards show

Discrete and Continuous Probability All probability distributions can be categorized as discrete probability distributions or as continuous probability distributions (stattrek.com). A random variable is represented by “x” and it is the result of the discrete or continuous probability. A discrete probability is a random variable that can either be a finite or infinite of countable numbers. For example‚ the number of people who are online at the same time taking a statistics class at CTU on

Cynthia Johnson Period 3 Experiment 11: Electron Probability I. Statement of Purpose: We determined the hit probability of a dart by throwing it onto a fixed target one hundred times. IV. Data* *Attached V. Results and Questions 1. (a) *Graph (b) The probability that the dart will hit in ring four is 16 out of 100. A dart will be most likely to hit the bulls-eye about 5 cm from it. (c) Our graph has a spike in hits on the ring

cloud or the probability that it will rain‚ we move from pure simulation to Monte Carlo. The reason for this distinction is that there may be other ways to define A that make it easier to estimate. This process is called variance reduction‚ since most of the error in A is statistical. Reducing the variance of A reduces the statistical error. We often have a choice between Monte Carlo and deterministic methods. For example‚ if X is a one dimensional random variable with probability density f (x)

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
