Probability & Scientific Inference (1)

In Part One of a two-part presentation, Laurent Beauregard discusses how probability works in each of three familiar situations. He invites you to contrast your intuitions about certain probabilities with what they actually turn out to be. There are surprises and, as a result, we gain insights into how probability works. Two lucky people will probably win a bag of M&Ms. Laurent holds an M.S. in physics and a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science. He has taught at U.C.L.A. and at Reed College. He is currently a member of the HGP Web committee and he edits the videos that you find on the front page of our website.
