Finally, the probability to master the attribute [A.sub.k] for an examinee with an ability level [[theta].sub.i] is exp ([X.sub.k]); the graphical representation of that probability across the pre-fixed ability levels is called Attribute Probability Curve (APC) for the attribute [A.sub.k].

In this example, because the probability of coming across between heavy trucks and earthquake is relatively small, we can see from the results that the shape of probability curve under earthquake only is similar with that of 75 years' maximum earthquake load curve, but with the mean moving leftwards.

According to the area superposition principle of normal distribution curve, Select x = ln [bar.K] as the starting point, step size [DELTA]x and make a subdivision for probability curve; if the area summation of these formed closed figures can infinitely approach 1, then we can obtain the ln [K.sub.min] value of the left end point and the ln [K.sub.max] value of the right end point, and ln [K.sub.max] = 2 x ln [bar.K] - ln [K.sub.min]

Now available in an excellent hardbound, large print edition perfect for public libraries or nearsighted individuals, Snuff is Terry Pratchett's latest novel set in the chaotic Discworld, a fantastic land "at the far end of the probability curve." Following the stalwart Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch during his countryside vacation, Snuff takes a dark turn as the bodies of victims abruptly turn up - en masse.

Several studies revealed the expected benefits of a disaster risk reduction measure by exceedance probability curves. With available information or more funding to invest in estimating hazard probabilities, an exceedance probability curve can be obtained to estimate the probability of occurrence of different intensities of the hazard at a given location.
