The Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test - Department of Statistics

1 The Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test The Wilcoxon rank-sum test is a nonparametric alternative to the two-sample t-test which is based solely on the order in which the observations from the two samples fall. We will use the following as a running example.

Chapter 3: Expectation and Variance

3. Calculating probabilities for continuous and discrete random variables. In this chapter, we look at the same themes for expectation and variance. The expectation of a random variable is the long-term average of the random variable. Imagine observing many thousands of independent random values from the random variable of interest.

Practice with Expected Value and Fair Games Answers

2. The world famous gambler from Philadelphia, Señor Rick, proposes the following game of chance. You roll a fair die. If you roll a 1, then Señor Rick pays you $25. If you roll a 2, Señor Rick pays you $5. If you roll a 3, you win nothing. If you roll a 4 or a 5, you must pay Señor Rick $10, and if you roll a 6, you must pay Señor Rick $15.

Historically, the birth of probability arose when a gambler wrote to Fermat, asking him whether it was possible to settle up the bets in a particular dice game that had gotten interrupted. Fermat had some ideas, but he wrote to Pascal and between them they worked out methods that are still in use today. Burkardt Monte Carlo Method: Probability

The 12 cognitive biases that prevent you from being rational

Gambler's Fallacy . It's called a fallacy, but it's more a glitch in our thinking. We tend to put a tremendous amount of weight on previous events, believing that they'll somehow influence future outcomes. The classic example is coin-tossing. After flipping heads, say, five consecutive times, our inclination is to predict an increase in
