... For n2 , there are 12 ways to choose a non-ace spade, but then there are only 47 cards left which are not aces, so n2 = 12 ∗ 47 = 564. Thus the total number of ways to make this choice is 48 + 564 = 612. 6. 5.10. First we count the number of ways to get n heads if we flip 2n coins. Think of a list o ...

Symmetry between possible outcomes, within a state of knowledge, is a very special case of ignorance, and it is only in such cases that PI can be applied.

Probability box
),steps=500.png?width=300)
A probability box (or p-box) is a characterization of an uncertain number consisting of both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties that is often used in risk analysis or quantitative uncertainty modeling where numerical calculations must be performed. Probability bounds analysis is used to make arithmetic and logical calculations with p-boxes.An example p-box is shown in the figure at right for an uncertain number x consisting of a left (upper) bound and a right (lower) bound on the probability distribution for x. The bounds are coincident for values of x below 0 and above 24. The bounds may have almost any shapes, including step functions, so long as they are monotonically increasing and do not cross each other. A p-box is used to express simultaneously incertitude (epistemic uncertainty), which is represented by the breadth between the left and right edges of the p-box, and variability (aleatory uncertainty), which is represented by the overall slant of the p-box.
