Introduction to Probability Theory 1
... sum of the two dice equals six? To calculate this probability we reason as follows: Given that the initial die is a four, it follows that there can be at most six possible outcomes of our experiment, namely, (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), and (4, 6). Since each of these outcomes originally ...

... So how much is it worth to play Millionaire with lifelines? Now consider a game in which we have 3 lifelines. At each point we must decide whether to quit, or guess using a lifeline, or guess not using a lifeline. Let us suppose that using a lifeline we can guess correctly with probability 0.5. As ...

Probability And Statistics Throughout The Centuries
... Although games of chance were known and practiced by the classical Greeks as well as Romans, Greeks did no show an interest in studying probability. The main explanation for such an attitude may be found in the fact that the model of the classical Greek thought was the perfect functioning of the cel ...

This seems a much more reasonable result. An objection to the above comparison of Dempster-Shafer with ...

... The indicator function for an event E is a function I E : S ! !, where S is the entire probability space, and ! is the set of real numbers, defined as I E ( x ) = 1 if x !E, and I E ( x ) = 0 if x !E. The simplest, and commonly used, example of a probability space is a set consisting of two elements ...
