We investigated the effects of probability on visual search. Previous work has shown that people can utilize spatial and sequential probability information to improve target detection. We hypothesized ...

Take two events A and B. For example, let A be the event “Receive a score of 95% on the econometrics exam” and let B be the event “Study econometrics 12 hours a day”. We might be interested in the ...

For example, the probability of getting a one when rolling a (standard) die is usually assumed to be one sixth. If you were given the extra information that the die roll was an odd number (hence 1, 3 ...

The Chain Rule of Conditional Probabilities is also called the general product rule. It allows the calculation of any number of the associate distribution of a set of random variables. It permits by ...

We elaborate on an alternative representation of conditional probability to the usual tree diagram. We term the representation “turtleback diagram” for its resemblance to the pattern on turtle shells.
