I wouldn't give up, so this time I said you toss the coin and he did. I said tails and it landed up heads. The chances of the quarter landing up tails are one out of two, but if you toss the coin three times and it lands on tails each time the chances of that happening are one out of eight times.(Cushman 3-6) .
What are the chances of you having the same birthday as someone else in your school? Having the same birthday as somebody else in your school is rare but is possible. Say I wanted to find how many same birthdays there are in the school of seven-hundred thirty kids. If I took a survey the probability of every day to have a birthday shared is 365/365 but that most defiantly would not happen, some days might have people with the same birthday.(Cushman 37-40).
How many red marbles are in the bag? At one of my birthday party's I put a bunch of black marbles, a bunch of blue marbles, and a bunch of red marbles in a bag. I gave each kid a sheet that said Red- , Blue- , and Black- . In each space they were supposed to guess how marbles of each color there are in the bag. If they tried right now they would have no idea on how many marbles of each color were in the bag. But if you gave each person 20 marbles randomly picked and told each person that there was 200 marbles in the bag. John had ten red, five black, and five blue. He wrote that there were one hundred ten red marbles, forty black, and fifty blue. Peter took twenty marbles and had fifteen red, three blue and two black. Peter guessed that there were one hundred thirty red marbles, thirty Black, and forty Blue marbles. Matthew got eight Red, seven Blue, and five Black. He guessed that there were ninety Red marbles, forty Black marbles, and seventy Blue!.
marbles. There were one hundred five Red marbles, fifty-five Blue, and forty Black. John was the winner.(Cushman 43-50).

Probability lies at the heart of nature, but in particular, the entire field of quantum theory is described by concepts and ideas from probability theory. ... This theory, first thought by Einstein, is an alternative way of looking upon probability. ... If a measurement is made there is a probability, (P), of one outcome and probability of, (1-P) for the other. ... Other physical concepts also help with the understanding of probability theory, such as wave functions and probability density functions. ... To begin, the probability of the cat being alive is alive is P=1. ...
Logical/inductive probability can be used to show 100% confirmation with no negative instances. ... The heart of Carnap's argument lies in logical/inductive probability. ... Similarly, if the negation of the hypothesis is logically implied by the evidence, the logical probability of the hypothesis is 0 (Carnap, p. 19-20). ... If one can then show that there are only positive instances and never negative ones, the probability would be 1. ... The next problem lies in the fact that all probabilities will be zero. ...
Quantum mechanics explains that light actually exists as a particle, but the probability of the position of the photon is wavelike. ... The most important part of quantum mechanics is that particles do not have exact locations in space but instead have a probability of where they could be. A Diagram of electron probability. The denser the dots the higher the probability. ... One interesting probability that comes out of this is the probability of quantum tunneling. ...
Another significant branch of mathematics that Pascal worked on during the 17th century was Probability. Probability deals with the odds of observing one of the several outcomes that can occur in an event. In Probability, an event is a single happening-sometimes called a trial- and an outcome is one of the possible results. For friends who gambled, he calculated the chance of loss or gain which led him to his probability theory. ... He reasoned that the worth of eternal happiness is infinite, and that the probability of gaining such happiness by religion may be small, but is a great deal super...
CNLP was developed by Peot and Smith in 1992, and was the first planner to include uncertainty; it was able to consider uncertain events without probabilities. ... This was followed by the CASSANDRA algorithm (Pryor and Collins 1996), which is based on STRIPS and does not consider probabilities. ... It is easy to see that, at this point, there is a probability of 1/6 that Alice has both aces, probability 5/6 that Alice has at least one ace, a probability ½ that Alice has the ace of spades, and probability ½ that Alice has the ace of hearts: Out of the six possible deals of two cards out ...
First of all, Hume tends to put his faith into probability over any other sources of reasoning. ... In section VII, Hume declares necessary connection to be unfavorable when compared to probability. In other words, probability is what allows humans to know what resulting action is about to occur. ... The greater probability would that the witness was giving false information and noone has ever parted the sea. ... It is similar to saying that I could never win the lottery because the probability of it happening are so low. ...
