Century. From the genes we inherit and the environment into which we are born, to the lottery ticket we buy at the local store, much of life is a gamble. In business, education, travel, health, and marriage, we take chances in the hope of obtaining something better. Chance colors our lives with uncertainty, and so it is important to examine it and try to understand about how it operates in a number of different circumstances. Such understanding becomes simpler if we take some time to learn a little about probability, since probability is the natural language of uncertainty...This second edition of Chance Rules again recounts the story of chance through history and the various ways it impacts on our lives. Here you can read about the earliest gamblers who thought that the fall of the dice was controlled by the gods, as well as the modern geneticist and quantum theory researcher trying to integrate aspects of probability into their chosen speciality. Example included in the first addition such as the infamous Monty Hall problem, tossing coins, coincidences, horse racing, birthdays and babies remain, often with an expanded discussion | 出版日期 | Book 2008Latest edition | 关键词 | Chance; Conditional probability; Monty Hall problem; RM; chaos; coincidences; gambling; paradoxes; predictio | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-77415-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-78129-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-77415-2 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2008 |
