Probability

the calculation of risk of a structure after occurrence of earthquake, the first step is to determine the annual probability (or frequency, rate) of exceeding some level of earthquake ground shaking at a site of interest. The worst-case intensity is not quiet necessary in practical engineering. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis is a method to compute results of probabilities of occurrence, including all earthquake events and data of ground motion. It is very useful to determine those…

inherent problems raised by Martin that challenge this definition. Martin derives the ‘orthodox definition’ of hope from the works of Day and Downie introduced in the late 1960s. Day states that “hope involves (1) desiring and (2) estimating a probability” and names these two constituents of hope as the desiderative and the estimative constituents, respectively (Day 89). And this definition has its merits: it seems illogical that A hopes that X will happen if A doesn’t desire X to happen OR X is…

detection efficiency (PDE) refers to the probability that a photon arriving on the SiPM surface is detected, an initiates the process of current pulse generation. PDE is a function of the overvoltage ΔV across the terminals of the APD and wavelength λ of the incident photon. Photon detection efficiency is one of the most important characteristics of a SiPM. PDE is the product of three factors :- Geometrical fill factor (FF), Quantum Efficiency (QE) and Probability of a Geiger discharge. (Pt) PDE…

happy the probability of recall is .32 when once generated and when going from sad to sad the probability of recall is .27 when once generated.4 This is in comparison to the significantly lower probability of recall when going from sad to happy as well as happy to sad where the probability of recall is .17 when once generated. (Note: mood was manipulated with music in experiment 1) In another trail of the same experiment the same results were seen where happy to happy has a .22 probability of…

possible probabilities with the objective of maximizing profit. Possible Decision Alternatives There are multiple alternatives Mr. Lassiter can take depending upon the number of seats sold and the percentage of the attendees who will buy one of his shirts. He was certain that about 20,000 tickets will be sold for the standing area around the stage but was unknown about the number of grandstand seats to be sold. He believed that the grandstand seats will be based on three probabilities; high,…

evolving and changing as time passes by. 4.Identify five mental challenges of the older adult. Hearing impairment, increasing probability of arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis, memory loss The basic concept of aging is that there is declining efficiency in the body as we grow older.…

Throughout the United States electoral votes of calculus voting is used. It is used to determine the proxy for the probability that the voter will turn out, the probability of voting, the differential benefit of one candidate winning over the other, the costs of voting, and the citizen duty. Calculus of voting is any mathematical model that predicts voting behavior by an electorate. This includes features such as participation rate. A calculus of voting represents a hypothesized decision-making…

like logging history and study information, Forthly, physical therapists must solve problems in a group in order to help their patients, other therapists, and insurance companies. Finally, physical therapists must calculate the probability, specifically advance probability, to discuss the importance of their regimen. By improving, maintaining, and restoring functionality, physical therapists are able to improve the lives of…

3.16-2(.319)=2.52 and Upper limit = 3.16+2(.319)=3.80 3.16 < µ < 3.80 Problem 5.31 The figure provided in problem 5.31, shows the probability density of colony diameters (in mm) in a hypothetical population of Paenibacillus bacteria (Whitlock and Schluter, 2015, pg 146). In the examples, a single colony is randomly sampled form the population. Since the probability is a bell-shape, the hypothetical population is a normal distribution. (Figure re-created using Microsoft Word…

the mean by using the sample space (list of possible values) and probabilities (the technique is in the book). To use the sample space to get the mean, we have to collect all potential values then multiply each of them by its probabilities to then add those values to get the possible outcome Create a list of seven, 2-digit numbers (with no duplicates) and another set of seven probabilities (with no duplicates). The probabilities must add to 1. Values: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66,…
