Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which ...

Students of statistics and researchers in search of a stats review will appreciate the Probability-Distributions app designed by Dr. Matthew Bognar at the University of Iowa. The app includes ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than ...

One of the goals of statistics is to make inferences about population parameters from a limited set of observations. Last month, we showed how Bayes' theorem is used to update probability estimates as ...
