Sentence examples for more probable on from inspiring English sources

If P makes S more coherent than does P′ according to C, we fix the probability of reliability in such a way that S comes out as more probable on P′ than on P. If, on the other hand, P′ makes S more coherent, then we choose a value for the probability of reliability so that P makes S more probable.

This suggests that pore pressure increase during earthquake is more probable on gentle slopes than it is on steep slopes.

Hacking formulates this idea in the so-called law of likelihood (1965, p. 59): if the sample $s$ is more probable on the condition of $h_{ 0} $han on $h_{1}$, than $s$ supponts $h_{ 1}$more then it supports $s${1}$.

Bovens and Olsson demonstrated that the answer to the general question is in the negative by giving an example of a more coherent extended set that is also more probable, on the revised understanding of what this means, than the original smaller set.

Hazmat suits could be useful in the event of a bombing, but would be even more help with accidents that state officials regarded as much more probable, like chemical spills on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

In order to construct a counterexample to C's truth conduciveness, we set the reliability to a value for which S′ will be more probable than S. If, on the other hand, C makes S′ more coherent than S, we fix the reliability to a level at which S will be the more probable set.
