  2. Representativeness heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representativeness_heuristic

    There is a 12% probability (0.12 = 0.15 × 0.80) that the blue cab is (correctly) identified by the witness as blue. There is a 17% probability (0.17 = 0.85 × 0.20) that the green cab is (incorrectly) identified by the witness as blue. There is therefore a 29% probability (0.29 = 0.12 + 0.17) that the cab is identified by the witness as blue.

  3. List of confirmation votes for the Supreme Court of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confirmation_votes...

    From 1975 until 2017, the threshold needed to invoke cloture for Supreme Court confirmation was three-fifths of all senators duly chosen and sworn-in (60 senators, if there was no more than one seat left vacant). [2] On April 7, 2017, the votes of Democratic senators managed to deny enough support for cloture on the nomination of Neil Gorsuch.

  4. Overconfidence effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconfidence_effect

    Calibrated probability assessment – Subjective probabilities assigned in a way that historically represents their uncertainty; Confidence – State of trusting that a belief or course of action is correct; Dunning–Kruger effect – Cognitive bias about one's own skill; False consensus effect – Attributional type of cognitive bias

  5. Confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval

    The confidence interval can be expressed in terms of probability with respect to a single theoretical (yet to be realized) sample: "There is a 95% probability that the 95% confidence interval calculated from a given future sample will cover the true value of the population parameter."

  6. List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

    Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions. [32] There are multiple other cognitive biases which involve or are types of confirmation bias: Backfire effect, a tendency to react to disconfirming evidence by strengthening one's previous beliefs. [33]

  7. Condorcet's jury theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet's_jury_theorem

    An important topic in the study of asymptotic is asymptotic distribution which is a probability distribution that is in a sense the "limiting" distribution of a sequence of distributions. The probability of a correct majority decision P(n, p), when the individual probability p is close to 1/2 grows linearly in terms of p − 1/2.

  8. Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_ratios_in...

    Pretest probability refers to the chance that an individual in a given population has a disorder or condition; this is the baseline probability prior to the use of a diagnostic test. Post-test probability refers to the probability that a condition is truly present given a positive test result.

  9. Simulation heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_heuristic

    The subjective probability judgments of an event used in the simulation heuristic do not follow the availability heuristic, in that these judgments are not the cause of relevant examples in memory but are instead based on the ease with which situations that did not happen can be mentally simulated or imagined.
