Assessing Schematic Knowledge of Introductory Probability Theory
The ability to identify schematic knowledge is an important goal for both assessment and instruction. In the current paper, schematic knowledge of statistical probability theory is explored from the declarative-procedural framework using multiple methods of assessment. A sample of 90 undergraduate introductory statistics students was required to classify 10 pairs of probability problems as simi...
متن کاملProbability on Trees: An Introductory Climb
2 1 Preface These notes are based on Lectures delivered at the Saint Flour Summer School in July 1997. Accurate notes were taken by Dimitris Gatzouras, who also edited them. Revisions by David Levin and myself led to the current form of the notes. I hope that they are useful to probabilists and graduate students as an introduction to the subject; a more complete account is in the forthcoming bo...
متن کاملIntroductory Cardinality Theory
The initial definition of finiteness says no more than a set is finite if we can “count” its elements. Counting means establishing a one-to-one correspondence with a set of consecutive integers beginning with one. Thus, if f is a function mapping {1,2,..., } n oneto-one onto a set A, we “count” A as (1), (2),..., ( ) f f f n . The fact that f is one-to-one and onto ensures that each element of ...
متن کاملIntroductory Number Theory
We will start with introducing congruences and investigating modular arithmetic: the set Z/nZ of “integers modulo n” forms a ring. This ring is a field if and only if n is a prime number. A study of the multiplicative structure leads to Fermat’s Little Theorem (for prime n) and to the Euler phi function and Euler’s generalization of Fermat’s Theorem. Another basic tool is the Chinese Remainder ...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Reasoning Logic meets Probability Theory
Preface to these notes This set of lecture notes gives a brief summary of the basic ideas and principles underlying the lectures given in the course Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. The basic idea underlying the course is that in AI you need to be able to precisely represent knowledge in order to explore that knowledge to solve problems. This is because, in contrast to humans, computers ...
