Upper bounds are derived for the probability that the sum S of n independent random variables exceeds its mean ES by a positive number nt. It is assumed that the range of each summand of S is bounded ...

(Phys.org)—Physicists have reported some of the strongest evidence yet that that the quantum world does not obey local realism by demonstrating new evidence for the existence of quantum entanglement.

A simple procedure for deriving the probability density function (pdf) for sums of uniformly distributed random variables is offered. This method is suited to introductory courses in probability and ...

This unit introduces the basic ideas and methods of Probability. Some familiarity with calculus is needed. Probability is an everyday concept of which most people have only a vague intuitive ...
