Gambler’s ruin and winning a series by m games
Two teams play a series of games until one team accumulates m more wins than the other. These series are fairly common in some sports provided that the competition has already extended beyond some number of games. We generalize these schemes to allow ties in the single games. Different approaches offer different advantages in calculating the winning probabilities and the distribution of the dur...
متن کاملBeyond Parrondo's Paradox
The Parrondo's paradox is a counterintuitive phenomenon where individually-losing strategies can be combined in producing a winning expectation. In this paper, the issues surrounding the Parrondo's paradox are investigated. The focus is lying on testifying whether the same paradoxical effect can be reproduced by using a simple capital dependent game. The paradoxical effect generated by the Parr...
متن کاملTeaching Probability with the Support of the R Statistical Software
The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of high school students’ learning of probability in a context where they are supported by the statistical software R. We report on the application of a teaching experiment, constructed using the perspective of Gal’s probabilistic literacy and Papert’s constructionism. The results show improvement in students’ learning of basic concepts, such as:...

Probability theory can be modified in essentially one way while maintaining consistency with the basic Bayesian framework. This modification results in copies of standard probability theory for real, complex or quaternion probabilities. These copies, in turn, allow one to derive quantum theory while restoring standard probability theory in the classical limit. This sequence is presented in some...
متن کاملThe effect of probability discounting on reward seeking: a three-dimensional perspective
Rats will work for electrical stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle. The rewarding effect arises from the volleys of action potentials fired by the stimulation and subsequent spatio-temporal integration of their post-synpatic impact. The proportion of time allocated to self-stimulation depends on the intensity of the rewarding effect as well as on other key determinants of decision-making,...
