Probability of selection

Since the particles of interest account for 1 X 10 % of all particles in the population, the probability of selecting one of these particles is only 1 X 10 . Substituting into equation 7.4 gives... 

Identify possible routes to selected failures typically involving operator errors, equipment failure, plant aging, corrosion, over-filling, impurities, fire, explosion, missiles, and flooding 5 Quantify the probability of selected failures and their consequences... 

This means that the probability of selecting a motion X X must be the same as the probabihty for the inverse motion, X X. One has to be very careful to preserve this symmetry in the actual realization of the algorithm, in particular if one has a choice between several types of move. 

The program has been useful in searching and summarizing all of the polymers, with specific vendor models, that have published chemical permeation data on a chemical class basis. The advantage of this is the increased the probability of selecting polymers and/or vendors models that may exhibit equal or better chemical permeation resistance to similar chemicals that have not yet been tested. Thus, fewer models may have to be tested with untested chemicals to find an acceptable garment. 

Example A bin contains 300 items, of which 240 are good and 60 are defective. In a sample of 6 what is the probability of selecting 4 good and 2 defective items by chance ... 

A bag of jellybeans contains 8 black beans, 10 green beans, 3 yellow beans, and 9 orange beans. What is the probability of selecting either a yellow or an orange bean ... 

To apply a screening approach to proactive method development, analyses of selectivity samples under a variety of mobile phase conditions are conducted on different HPLC columns. HPLC columns should be as orthogonaT as possible and variations in solvent composition should be designed to maximize the probability of selectivity differences. Alternate separation techniques, such as ion exchange chromatography (IC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), or capillary electrophoresis (CE) may also be used to obtain orthogonality. 

Sample Weights. The true probability of selection for specimens collected In the NHATS network cannot be calculated since some stages of the sample selection involve nonprobability sampling. For example, the specimens are selected by the pathologist in a non-statistical manner. In addition, the sample is not... 

The probability of selecting the most appropriate parametric distribution from a set of candidate distributions will be comparatively low. 

A small sample of the reaction mixture is continuously removed by flow through an aperture. If the sampling is random, the probability of selecting and detecting a molecular species, A, is...

Therefore, the probability of selecting a green button without looking is... 

A bank contains one penny, two quarters, four nickels, and three dimes. What is the probability of selecting a coin that is worth more than five cents but less than 30 cents ...

Cells in mitosis may be selectively removed and discarded over a long period of time. This leaves behind a population most of which should be in G2-phase (Stubblefield, 1964 Creasey and Markiw, 1965 Pfeiffer and Tolmach, 1967). Unfortunately, as well as the probability of selecting slow growers, the use of colchicine, colcemid and vinblastine may not only inhibit mitosis but may also have other effects on cells such as inhibition of RNA synthesis. 

For these reasons, there is little visible difference between the binding probability curve (Fig. 7a) and the curve for probability of selection via binding to target (Fig. 7c), other than the slight loss of probability due to elution not releasing every target-bound phage. How-... 

The constant probability of selecting a group of particles in the sample (= Ms/Ml). 

When the probability of selection is constant so that P = u/Nl, Stenback (1998) has noted from the first part of (B.3) that... 

With respect to the first question, we can look to a model that makes its selections randomly, with each of the five response options having equal probability of selection. We would expect such a model to match the students responses 20% of the time, simply by chance. The issue is whether the performance model does better than this random model in accounting for the students responses. We can see from Table 13.2 that the performance model exactly matched the students responses on 71% of the...
