Probability theory

Uncertainty about the workings of the natural world has driven people for centuries into making new discoveries and theories about the way things work. Doubt from other people has driven people to challenge these discoveries and either prove them wrong and continue the search for the right answers, or ultimately, to prove them right when more experiments fail to prove the theory wrong. It seems humans in general hold an insatiable curiosity about the way things work and how things are but want…

prohibiting universe. Though the option was not fully explored and did not give a sound reason as to the nature of necessity. The next option chance was quickly dismissed as being impossible as the probability is too low. Which in itself is invalid because even though it may have the lowest chance of probability, it does not mean it is not possible to occur. Though the video then…

3B. HEMPEL (20 points): Describe the viewpoint of Hempel regarding the role of induction and deduction in each following: (a) Generating new theories According Hempel’s perspective, the scientific inquiry can divide into two groups. Firstly, it is the empirical sciences which related to the science that tend to explore, describe, explain, predict the occurrence in the world. For the empirical science, it will be accepted whether the researches are supported by empirical evidences from the…

The existence of God has been a question that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time and it is a question that has divided numerous philosophers throughout history. In this essay, I will critically evaluate Richard Swinburne’s cosmological argument which can be found in this book is there a god?

this article where this method is aimed and a testing theory. It is a clear method and usually it begins with a hypothesis and followed by the emphasis which Is generally on causality. And on the front page under method: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design is used. This is commonly associated with quantitative research. Deductive Reasoning is considered by many as a standard for scientific research in order to test whether the theories and hypothesis can be proved with specific…

Once reaching the complete fox phase, they transition back to a hedgehog begins. Everybody is different, but this general curve of open-mindedness and certainty over time is observable in most people. I see myself as a perfect example of this theory. Throughout my adolescence and high school years, I was constantly certain in what I wanted my future to be and how I saw the world from my point of view. I feel myself in the process of becoming more open-minded since high school has ended and…

NOVA’s “the Fabric of the Cosmos: Quantum Leap” with Brian Greene “Quantum Leap” not only explores how much the quantum atom has changed our view of the rules that govern our universe, but also how much is has, or will, benefit society. How did science arrive at the quantum atom, and what benefit did (or will) we gain from each of the developments that led us to the quantum atom? After the analytical evidence was gathered by Sir Joseph John Thomson from the scientists before him to create the…

Quantitative risk analysis is the one which follows the Qualitative analysis, and gives a numerical priority rating to project risks (PMI, 2009). Based on the PMBOK (PMI, 2013) quantitative risk analysis “… is the process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives (p. 333).” This is also a process for the PM and project team to get risk data to support making decisions, which can help to reduce project uncertainties (PMI, 2013, p. 333). Based on the…

We as humans gain knowledge through many different ways or some of us even produce new knowledge such as a scientist who gives out a new theory about wormholes, but without the knowledge being applied in some part of our life or in the world itself, its value could be reduced. The world ‘application’ in the question refers to the utilization of the knowledge which could mean that the knowledge is personal knowledge and not shared knowledge, the word ‘value’ refers to both the tangible and…
