Presbyterian minister, Thomas Bayes, discovered a theorem that would revolutionize how people think when it comes to making decisions. The New York Times article, “The Mathematics of Changing Your Mind,” written by John Paulos discusses how statistics can be applied to more than just math but to every aspect of life.

The idea of probability itself is present in such words as “chance,” “likelihood,” “fate,” “odds,” “gods,” “fortune,” “luck,” “happenstance,” “random,” and many others. In order to get more fundamental in my understanding of probability I watched mathematicalmonk's lectures involving $\sigma$-algebras etc. The Rules of War The average cases for both statistics are as expected: the mean deck weight and mean initial advantage are both 0, with both statistics normally distributed about a mean of zero at a 99% confidence level. Here you will find a number of resources useful in teaching an elemenatary probability or statistics course. The existence of random factors in the game do not allow for the claim that war is a deterministic game, yet it is still possible to quantify properties of the initial state that are indicative of a victory probability. Even if we ignore that mistake – and you don't address any of the direct criticisms of it, suggesting that you can't – you don't demonstrate that the two choices have equal weight. Weighing the Odds: A Course in Probability and Statistics. I'll close with perhaps the most fundamental tension between stories and statistics.
