Tunguska event

future. In 2004, an asteroid event took effect on Earth that changed the way the Spaceguard astronomers thought. The first event took place on, January 14, 2004. This asteroid was named AL00667 and had a twenty-five percent chance of hitting Earth between thirty-six hours. Even though this asteroid missed Earth by millions of miles, organizations were formed so there could be warnings for any threatening object that will affect Earth in the future. The second event that took place was the discovery

about it… it was an asteroid. At exactly 7:17 A.M. local time on June 30,1908 an asteroid came plummeting down toward Earth's surface. This occurrence happened around the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Russia. "Recent scientific studies by meteorite researcher Christopher Chyba have estimated that the Tunguska event may have been caused by the explosion of a stony meteorite about 30 meters in diameter traveling at about 15 km/s. Compare the energy released by such an object with that of an atomic

save you from false accusations. The motorists went on to say, “In Russia, everyone should have a camera on their dashboard. It’s better than keeping a lead pipe under your seat for protection”. Meteorites hit the Earth every day, what made this event so unusual is the fact that it happened in a large city and

Question 1: Sample space: a list of all possible outcomes of the random experiment Event: a collection or set of one or more simple events in a sample space Probability of an event: the sum of the probabilities of the simple events Random experiment: an action or process that leads to one of several possible outcomes The first step in the process of assigning probabilities is to produce a list of the outcomes. The list of outcomes must be exhaustive, which means all possible outcomes must be

According to the Investopedia, “When an individual erroneously believes that the onset of a certain random event is less likely to happen following an event or a series of events. This line of thinking is incorrect because past events do not change the probability that certain events will occur in the future.” Gambler’s Fallacy is about our incorrect thinking of predicting what will happen next by the events happened before or the previous probability. For example, I did a coin toss for 10 times and I got

cause chaos. Another reason why people might say that America is an improbable idea is because, the idea of numerous groups of people coming together into one country might be thought of as disorder but in reality, America succeeds through devastating events of terrorism and common religious beliefs, for the majority of the people, despite being an “improbable idea.” America succeeds through common religious beliefs of citizens. In Lincoln’s second inaugural address, he states that the majority of American

and it is important to ask the rate of false positives for diagnostic tests. People must know how false positive rate compares to the true prevalence of disease, and when assessing test results need to know if u, r in a high-risk group. From the event, it is obvious that the fallacy ignores false positive rate.
