Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics, Vol. 35, No. 3 (2021), pp. 435-441 (7 pages) The aim of this note is to give an elegant proof of a result due to E. G. Olds which concerns the density ...

Chance and uncertainty play a role in many aspects of life. A solid understanding of probability enhances critical thinking and empowers us to make well-informed decisions in everyday situations such ...

The binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials, each with the same probability of success. The chi-square distribution is often used in ...

A new proof, based on the duality theorem of linear programming, is given of a theorem of V. Strassen, which states essentially that the minimum distance between random variables with given ...

The Virginia Lottery offers a game called the New Year's Millionaire Raffle for which the top prize is one million dollars. There are 375,000 tickets sold, of which 508 are winners. There are three ...

ABSTRACT: The ratio R of two random quantities is frequently encountered in probability and statistics. But while for unidimensional statistical variables the distribution of R can be computed ...

ABSTRACT: In this work, we study some computational aspects for the Bayesian analysis involving stable distributions. It is well known that, in general, there is no closed form for the probability ...
