Conditional Probability Huafeng Zhang I. Introduction Everyone in a way use conditional probability even if they don’t realize the science behind it. Non-statisticians use conditional probability without recognizing it mostly when they make decisions or judgments, for example they will be less likely to lend money to people who borrowed his money but haven 't returned the money back. Statisticians think of conditional probability in both logical and quantitative way. II. Conditional Probability
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programmes are a form of social protection which provide modest monthly cash transfers to families with children. Cash transfers are conditional on families meeting the minimum requirements of regular school attendance and the use of preventive healthcare services. Although largely praised for their success, CCTs are criticised for using conditionality as a means of achieving the objectives to improve the capital accumulation of those living in abject poverty. Providing
CONDITIONAL TENSE Conditional sentences usually are of the type in which one circumstance will be symbiotic with the other. For example, “if I find her address, I’ll send her the invite.” Normally, there are three kinds of relationships which can be expressed using the conditional- factual, future, and imaginative conditional relationship. Factual conditionals generate two branches- timeless and time-bound conditionals. Furthermore, timeless conditionals are divided into habitual and generic
Also, as said in an article by Larzelere and Kuhn, if the discipline is too violent, and results in the child becoming injured, the child is not going to retain the intended lesson (1). An example of non-abusive physical discipline is conditional spanking. Conditional spanking "is defined as about two open-hand swats to the buttocks when a parent is not angrily out of control" (Larzelere, Kuhn 1). This type of punishment "teaches a child to cooperate with the milder disciplinary tactic, thereby making
Al-Ghazali begins his discussion of theodicy with a conditional statement that will frame the rest of his one-hundred-line discussion contained in his Ihya text. This conditional statement has as its antecedent a series of eight hypotheticals which are aimed at creating a hypothetical multitude of immensely knowledgeable and wise creatures. The antecedent contains the following hypotheticals: all creatures being as intelligent and knowledgeable as the most intelligent and knowledgeable human, God
managers may struggle with low performers, unrealistic goals and complex compensation systems. Keep reading to learn specific techniques to properly motivate your sales team. Conditional Bonuses According to Forbes magazine, conditional bonuses are the key to motivating a sales team. Specifically, researchers found that conditional bonuses increased sales gain by approximately 20 percent. The researchers concluded that specific goals motivate people to work harder because the most successful employees
What the patient and the physician really want to know in this context is the reverse conditional probability. Conditional on having survived with no evidence of further disease progression for some given period of time elapsed since undergoing a potentially curative intervention how likely is it that the intervention was successful and that the patient really was cured? From a Bayesian analysis individually tailored posterior cure probability curves may be constructed. They are a function of time
A "deemed approved" ordinance (DAO) or a nuisance abatement ordinance is a piece of legislation using the same zoning authority to apply Conditional Use Permits (CUP) equivalent standards to new and preexisting alcohol outlets enacted by a municipal authority to quall the adverse impacts of alcohol availability and alcohol sales on the public health, safety, and welfare of the community and residents. While the state of California has exclusive regulatory authority over the licensing and regulation
Counterfactuals and mechanistic theories present two distinct, although perhaps not incompatible causal theories. In this paper, I will outline them, contrast their basic strengths, and finally aim to argue in favour of a monist mechanistic account, in particular focusing on resolving two general arguments against mechanistic theory - to which the answer is commonly to adopt a pluralistic account. Let’s begin by considering our two causal accounts: First, counterfactuals centre on the notion that
A unilateral contract is a legally enforceable promise to do or not to do a specific legal act or action between the parties in the law. In a unilateral contract, one party pays the other party to perform its obligations. c. A conditional contract is an agreement that is satisfied only if the execution of another agreement or other specific conditions. d. Individual contract purchase is a form of auto financing for individual buyers who have similar personal contract hire and installment
