Math 216: Statistics for Engineering

Subjective because the odds are made up by Las Vegas and/or Cousin Sal

Statistics are used to generate some random numbers in computer science. In other situations, complex functions are used, however for some computer science applications, a statistical model is developed to compute random numbers. There are many sites describing this, but wiki is the best!

This is empirical because it uses data from 1200 adults in two different areas. Though it might be subjective because not everyone tells the truth about cheating at anything

The data is empirical, although the validity of the claims may not be that soild. They took the latest poll results for each state and translated them into probabilities.

This is an example of empirical probability.

This is a cool argument for the new (next season) 1 game playoff between the top two wild-card teams in the NL and AL, and why it should work

Axiomatic probability

Empirical probability since a survey was conducted

probability: empirical since it is based on an experiment

Winning percentages for baseball teams.  Shows which teams' formulas worked best

This is subjective probability

Totally subjective. Fighter gambling stats are based partially on numbers, and mostly on what will make UFC the most money. If the stats were legitimate, which they're not, then it would be axiomatic (assuming they just use the discrete values of wins to losses)

subjective

Interprets the variance in a batter's average on a year to year basis and tries to determine how much of an effect a hitter's and pitcher's relative skills have on balls in play.  Uses empirical probability methods with batting averages.

Shows the odds of the Boston Red Sox making the playoffs as the season goes on and then in the final days of the collapse. Most of this data is empirical probability

I believe this is empirical, since he is using polls to determine the probability of winning the election.

I'm not sure this is subjective or empirical because somebody might have made calculation about it.

This will make your brain hurt.

I think this would be empirical because they use previous cases to determine probability of developing ADHD.
