The equality will in general only be achieved for a symmetric three-valued distribution. If the probabilities are p, 1-2p and p then equality is achieved when k=(2p) . A symmetric two-valued distribution is a special case with k=1. A chart showing this distribution for k=2 is below (return to top)

86. What Are Statistics, Probability Theory, And Operations Research
Some definitions with a few examples, from the Dept. of Statistics at the Florida State University.
http://stat.fsu.edu/undergrad/statinf2.html
What are "Probability Theory," "Statistics," and "Operations Research?"
Probability theory
is the branch of mathematics which develops models for "chance variations" or "random phenomena." It originated as a rigorous discipline when mathematicians of the 17th century began calculating the odds in various games of chance. It was soon realized how to make applications of the theory they developed to the study of errors in experimental measurements and to the study of human mortality (for example, by life insurance companies). Probability theory is now a major branch of mathematics with widespread applications in science and engineering. A few examples are:
  • modeling the occurrence of sunspots to improve radio communication, modeling and control of congestion on highways, reliability theory to evaluate the chance that a space vehicle will function throughout a mission.
  • Statistics is the mathematical science of utilizing data about a population in order to describe it usefully and to draw conclusions and make decisions. The population may be a community, an organization, a production line, a service counter, or a phenomenon such as the weather. Statisticians develop models based on probability theory. They determine which probability model is correct for a given type of problem and they decide what kinds of data should be collected and examined. "Theoretical" statistics concerns general classes of problems and the development of general methodology. "Applied" statistics concerns the application of the general methodology to particular problems. This often calls for use of techniques of computer-based data analysis.

    Probability and Geometry
    Abstract
    The activity and two discussions of this lesson connect probability and geometry. The Polyhedra discussion leads to platonic solids, and the Probability and Geometry discussion leads to connections between angles, areas and probability. The subtle difference between defining probability by counting outcomes and defining probability by measuring proportions of geometrical characteristics is brought to light.
    Objectives
    Upon completion of this lesson, students will:
    • have practiced calculating probability
    • have seen how geometry can help solve probability problems
    • have learned about platonic solids
    Standards
    The activities and discussions in this lesson address the following NCTM standards Data Analysis and Probability Understand and apply basic concepts of probability
    • understand and use appropriate terminology to describe complementary and mutually exclusive events
    • use proportionality and a basic understanding of probability to make and test conjectures about the results of experiments and simulations
    • compute probabilities for simple compound events, using such methods as organized lists, tree diagrams, and area models

    Memphis ), Martin Dyer ( Leeds ), Mark Jerrum ( Edinburgh ), Alan Sokal ( New York ) and Peter Winkler ( Bell Labs Theme of Workshop
    The heading "random structures" is intended to cover both the finite (random graphs, partial orders, etc.) and infinite (configurations of some physical model on an infinite lattice). Our aim is to bring together combinatorialists, probabilists, physicists and theoretical computer scientists to engage in an interdisciplinary meeting that will study random structures from various directions. Structure
    There will be two linked workshops: Combinatorial and computational aspects of statistical physics and Random graphs and structures . The overarching theme that unites these two is that of phase transition, broadly interpreted. A rough distinction between the two workshops might be that the first deals with phase transitions in infinite systems (e.g., the Ising model on the 2-dimensional square lattice), and the second with "phase transitions" in finite structure (e.g., random graphs or random partial orders). However, this distinction is certainly not intended to be a hard-and-fast. Computational questions - such as the extent to which phase transitions may coincide with the boundary between tractable and intractable - will certainly be addressed.

    Coronary Artery Calcification
    CT detection Atherosclerotic heart disease is the number one cause of death. Methods of detecting coronary artery disease prior to fatal events are needed so that appropriate measures can be taken to reduce risk. Anatomic studies have established that coronary calcification is invariably located near areas of advanced atherosclerotic disease. A direct relation between the extent of coronary calcification and the severity of stenotic lesions or frequency of myocardial infarction is consistently observed in autopsy series. The more extensive the calcification, the more frequent and more severe the degree of stenosis. This relationship is recognized in all age groups and both sexes, but is more marked in younger patients.
    CT and in particular, electron-beam CT (EBCT) is the most sensitive radiographic method to detect coronary artery calcification. The value of EBCT can be summarized as follows:

    Statistical Inference on the TI-83+/86/89 This site contains typical problems and solutions on the general statistics topics of probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and correlation analysis. Detailed survey sampling projects are also included.
    The materials here are designed to supplement a general descriptive statistics course. Throughout, the problems are worked with programs suited for the TI-83+, TI-86, and TI-89 calculators. By using the calculator programs to work the problems, virtually all of the formula memorization, hand calculation, and textbook charts are taken out of the course. Thus, students can concentrate on understanding the results, drawing conclusions, and learning when and how to apply the proper procedure and program to solve a problem.
