We live in a world where a lot of things seem to happen by pure chance, from winning the Lotto to losing your car keys. But the truth is, the likelihood of many everyday things happening is heavily ...

This example demonstrates how to create R charts with probability limits. The following statements read the disk drive test times from the data set DISKS (see "Creating Range Charts from Raw Data") ...

In this note we wish to pass along an example that we have found useful when introducing the concepts of conditional probability and Bayes' Rule to undergraduate students. The advantages of this ...

Two events are independent if the probability of the first event happening has no impact on the probability of the second event happening. For example, the probability of rolling a 6 on a die will not ...

This example illustrates how to create and s charts with probability limits. The following statements read the kilowatt power output measurements from the data set TURBINE (see "Creating Charts for ...

Proportional reasoning failures seem to constitute most errors in probabilistic reasoning, yet there is little empirical evidence about its role for attaining probabilistic knowledge and how to ...

Meteorologists explain that a 30% chance of rain means there's a 3 in 10 chance of rain at any point in the forecast area.
