  2. Boole's inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boole's_inequality

    P( at least one estimation is bad) = 0.05 ≤ P( A 1 is bad) + P( A 2 is bad) + P( A 3 is bad) + P( A 4 is bad) + P( A 5 is bad) One way is to make each of them equal to 0.05/5 = 0.01, that is 1%. In other words, you have to guarantee each estimate good to 99%( for example, by constructing a 99% confidence interval) to make sure the total ...

  3. Conditional probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability

    Let D 1 be the value rolled on dice 1. Let D 2 be the value rolled on dice 2. Probability that D 1 = 2. Table 1 shows the sample space of 36 combinations of rolled values of the two dice, each of which occurs with probability 1/36, with the numbers displayed in the red and dark gray cells being D 1 + D 2. D 1 = 2 in exactly 6 of the 36 outcomes ...

  4. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The characteristic function is closely related to the Fourier transform: the characteristic function of a probability density function p(x) is the complex conjugate of the continuous Fourier transform of p(x) (according to the usual convention; see continuous Fourier transform – other conventions).

  5. Proof of Bertrand's postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Bertrand's_postulate

    Assume that there is a counterexample: an integer n ≥ 2 such that there is no prime p with n < p < 2n. If 2 ≤ n < 427, then p can be chosen from among the prime numbers 3, 5, 7, 13, 23, 43, 83, 163, 317, 631 (each being the largest prime less than twice its predecessor) such that n < p < 2 n .

  6. abc conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abc_conjecture

    In these bounds, K 1 and K 3 are constants that do not depend on a, b, or c, and K 2 is a constant that depends on ε (in an effectively computable way) but not on a, b, or c. The bounds apply to any triple for which c > 2. There are also theoretical results that provide a lower bound on the best possible form of the abc conjecture.

  7. Probability-generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability-generating...

    Probability generating functions obey all the rules of power series with non-negative coefficients. In particular, () =, where () =, < (), x approaching 1 from below, since the probabilities must sum to one.

  8. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    Venn diagram showing the union of sets A and B as everything not in white. In combinatorics, the inclusion–exclusion principle is a counting technique which generalizes the familiar method of obtaining the number of elements in the union of two finite sets; symbolically expressed as

  9. (a,b,0) class of distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(a,b,0)_class_of_distributions

    The (a,b,0) class of distributions is also known as the Panjer, [1] [2] the Poisson-type or the Katz family of distributions, [3] [4] and may be retrieved through the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution. Only the Poisson, binomial and negative binomial distributions satisfy the full form of this relationship.
