Mlodinow's presentation helps to stop me from going to sleep.
Theory Explain Probability
Took a fun video on learning probabilities and such and turned it into an "epidemiologist" forum...THE WRONG TYPE of "SPEAKERS" here...💯🔊Breast cancer is easily curable with NATURAL remedies... sound, TRUTH, intention, LOVE, 💞🌳🎼✌🏼
Excellent
In college (Chemical Engineering) there was only 2 or 3 women out of around 50 students during 1995, the same holds true for other neighboring colleges (Math, Physics) Are women less attracted to science by natural evolution, if so what is the probability of changing that (natural evolution) so that more women are inclined to STEAM majors? I believe IQ between women are men are pretty much the same, it is just that women seem not to be interested in sciences!

What a treat to see Mlodinow in person! I bought his book, The Drunkard's Walk, in 2013 and ten years later still refer to it frequently. I love it.
However, consider how he frames the Monty Hall problem there: "[U]nderstanding the Monty Hall problem requires no mathematical training. But it does require some careful logical thought" (p. 53). Stated slightly differently, what this means is that Monty Hall is really concerned with thinking like a programmer [or like a 'coder' as the kids would have it nowadays?], which means asking questions such as: "Where is the user now in the notional state machine?" The amount of probability per se is quite minimal in this (and many kindred) "probability" problems, which are often more like ivory tower parlor games.
Taking an interesting topic and making it into "comedy" baby food for.....who?
What if you did the douvle split experiment but made the walls form the splits sensors. Because a wave should be hitting the walls/sensors and going through the slit. Also what if instead of firing electrons, you just released them into a box where all 4 walls are sensors
"2 sets of twins" ????
Even tho Bro's disabled, Bro managed to clap 2 babies into his wife in a single session.......that too TWICE
nothing but RESPECT 🫡
For Dengue fever the correct result is 999/10998 because the test is wrong in the other direction too (with the same probability) when someone is sick and the test says that he is healthy. Though the difference is tiny.
Any DePaul Students here doing assignment?
I see it like this. She picked door three which has a 1/3 chance of being right. Doors one and two have a collective probability of winning of 2/3. So it's better to switch to door one which has a collective probability of 2/3 of winning.
You need your rest. Enjoy it
I don't know why the moderator is so annoying. Too much interjections, too much ego
I miss 7 years ago. Back when everyone knew what a woman is.
Steve Jobs came up with computers.... Uhhh?
What is the probability of absolute fuck you?
It got woke about 8 minutes in, so....nope.


What is statistics?
Statistics is a mathematical body of science that pertains to the collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data, or as a branch of mathematics.
