Struck by lightning: the curious world of probabilities
Audio avec voix humaine
Résumé
Our fear of untoward events can be eased with the logic of statistics and probability, and knowing how to evaluate what the real odds are of such events occurring. A multitude of applications of "the Probability Perspective" are laid out:… calculating average losses at gambling, deciding which coincidences are truly surprising, understanding studies that show that a new drug reduces fatalities from a given disease, or even using uncertainty for one's own benefit. 2005.
