Wave particle duality and the Afshar experiment

A decision maker's attempt to assure equal probabilities will be sufficient to attract our attention--understanding that literal equiprobability might be impossible, that lack of relevant information might be required, and that orthogonal randomization might be an acceptable substitute.

Randomization in adjudication

Of the 15 students with partial-statistical responses on Item 1, seven used level 2 type of responses whereas the rest based their reasoning on intuitions such as equiprobability bias (Level 1).

One explanation Connor and Simberloff (1978, 242) gave as to why the NHI produced the results it did for the avifauna was that "the assumption of equiprobability (of dispersal and persistence capabilities) is closer to reality for birds than plants." This rationale is equally valid for alien flora, when contrasted with the native flora.

The longer line appeared on either the right or the left side of the stimulus with equiprobability. The mask, from Nettelbeck and Rabbitt (1992), was composed of two vertical lines, both 46 mm in length, appearing slightly thicker in the centre of the line between 18 and 38 cm from the top (see Fig.

The development of a same-different inspection time paradigm and the effects of practice

The Quick Basic pseudo-random number algorithm was tested by converting the output to numbers from 1 to 4, and testing 10,000 of these numbers for the equiprobability of occurrence at the singlet and doublet levels.

Although this may not be true over short periods of time for actual species, a certain long-term birth/death equiprobability surely prevails for every species that has survived to the present day.
