Wild asked Times2 crossword editor John Grimshaw (also feared by solvers of the Listener, the Enigmatic Variations and the Magpie as the puckish Dimitry) for an explanation, and it's compelling: Each puzzle selects about 25 words from, say, about 80,000 suitable for such a puzzle, leading to a probability of a particular word in one puzzle appearing in another of 25/80,000.
However, reworking the numbers using seismic data from 2008, and computing the risk for the whole fleet of reactors in America being operated for the further 20-year extension being sought for their current licences, Mr Markey's staff expect the risk to increase 7,000-fold 7,000-foldbilito of 0.026 per year—ie, one nuclear disaster somewhere in the country every 38 years.
Because the denominator (σ√2π), known as the normalizing coefficient, causes the total area enclosed by the graph to be exactly equal to unity, probabilities can be obtained directly from the corresponding area i.e., an area of 0.5 corresponds to a probability of 0.5.
The score can be converted to a probability of hospital mortality [2].
Hence, in the choice between exposing one person to a probability of 0.9 to be killed and exposing each of one hundred persons to a probability of 0.01 of being killed, it requires that the former alternative be chosen.
Monitoring is typically included in economic models of crime thanks to a probability of detection, constant across individuals.
A set of sensors registers blocks of length from, subject to a probability of sensing error for all, with.
Error maximization is achieved for the SNR values that correspond to a probability of detection near PD=0.5 (SNR =0.25).
This detection is statistically very significant - corresponding to a probability of better than 99.99999999999% that dark matter exists in these clusters.
In most modern accounts, probability and certainty are measurable on a single scale with (full) certainty amounting to a probability of 1.
Their response towards the disruptions is evaluated considering two situations: 1) the disruption occurs with certainty and 2) the disruption is associated to a probability of occurrence.
