Probability and Quantile Applets I've created JAVA code for handling most of the routine things with common distributions, such as computing probabilities, quantiles, and generating random variates. I have written most of these things as Literate Programs in Noweb and I will make them available to the public very soon. Although, the same thing is easily done for all the implemented distributions, only two applets that can be used to calculate probabilities under the normal curve and quantiles of normal distribution are presented. Probability Applet The first applet below calculates areas under the standard normal density curves. You are presented with two fields and three buttons on top of a normal density curve. The buttons allow you to calculate areas to the left or to the right or between. For areas to the left, use the left data entry field. For areas to the right, use the right data entry field. For areas between two points, use both fields. The interface is quite forgiving. If you mess up, it takes you right to the field where you have to type. Quantile Applet The second applet calculates quantiles of the normal distribution. You can choose any mean and any standard deviation. The applet will return the requested quantile.

Ask Dr. Math: FAQ I ntroduction to P robability Dr. Math FAQ Classic Problems Formulas Search Dr. Math ... Dr. Math Home For a review of concepts, see Permutations and Combinations. The study of probability helps us figure out the likelihood of something happening. For instance, when you roll a pair of dice, you might ask how likely you are to roll a seven. In math, we call the "something happening" an "event." The probability of the occurrence of an event can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal from to 1. Events that are unlikely will have a probability near 0, and events that are likely to happen have probabilities near 1.* In any probability problem, it is very important to identify all the different outcomes that could occur. For instance, in the question about the dice, you must figure out all the different ways the dice could land, and all the different ways you could roll a seven. * Note that when you're dealing with an infinite number of possible events, an event that could conceivably happen might have probability zero. Consider the example of picking a random number between 1 and 10 - what is the probability that you'll pick 5.0724? It's zero, but it could happen.

You're the Expert Creating a Family Trust Back to Main Page Introduction Y ou are a financial planning consultant at a neighborhood bank. A 22-year-old client asks you the following question: "I would like to set up my own insurance policy by opening a trust account into which I can make monthly payments starting now, so that upon my death or my ninety-fifth birthday - whichever comes sooner - the trust can be expected to be worth $500,000. How much should I invest each month?" Assuming a 5% rate of return on investments, how should you respond? To answer the question on the previous page, we must know something about the probability of the client's dying at various ages. There are so many possible ages to consider (particularly since we should consider the possibilities month by month) that it would be easier to treat his age at death as a continuous variable, one that can take on any real value (between 22 and 95 in this case). The mathematics needed to do probability and statistics with continuous variables is calculus. The material on statistics in this resource will be readily accessible to you if you are familar with derivatives and integrals (through Chapter 6 of

Probability From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The word probability derives from the Latin probare (to prove, or to test). Informally, probable is one of several words applied to uncertain events or knowledge, being more or less interchangeable with likely risky hazardous uncertain , and doubtful , depending on the context. Chance odds , and bet are other words expressing similar notions. As with the theory of mechanics which assigns precise definitions to such everyday terms as work and force , so the theory of probability attempts to quantify the notion of probable Contents Historical remarks Concepts Formalization of probability Representation and interpretation of probability values ... edit Historical remarks The scientific study of probability is a modern development. Gambling shows that there has been an interest in quantifying the ideas of probability for millennia, but exact mathematical descriptions of use in those problems only arose much later. The doctrine of probabilities dates to the correspondence of Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal Christiaan Huygens (1657) gave the earliest known scientific treatment of the subject.

Probability theory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Probability theory is the mathematical study of probability Mathematicians think of probabilities as numbers in the interval from to 1 assigned to "events" whose occurrence or failure to occur is random. Probabilities P E are assigned to events E according to the probability axioms The probability that an event E occurs given the known occurrence of an event F is the conditional probability of E given F ; its numerical value is (as long as P F is nonzero). If the conditional probability of E given F is the same as the ("unconditional") probability of E , then E and F are said to be independent events. That this relation between E and F is symmetric may be seen more readily by realizing that it is the same as saying Two crucial concepts in the theory of probability are those of a random variable and of the probability distribution of a random variable; see those articles for more information.
