LOSTandCRAZY

I've found the best resource for Probability Theory is at the MIT OpenCourseware site here: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-050JInformation-and-EntropySpring2003/Units/index.htm You will want to select unit 4: Probability The one I completed was in the Computational Sciences lab, and I found it pretty informational, but not really challenging. And if you read above, I gave you the answer, lol. "Get these balls!"

Ah, the ol' Probability Theory....... on o' my FAVORITES!!!! Which function? These are the three functions: Probability density function A probability density function of the chi-square distribution is where Γ denotes the Gamma function, which has closed-form values at the half-integers. Cumulative distribution function Its cumulative distribution function is: where γ(k,z) is the lower incomplete Gamma function and P(k,z) is the regularized Gamma function. Tables of this distribution — usually in its cumulative form — are widely available and the function is included in many spreadsheets and all statistical packages. Characteristic function The characteristic function of the Chi-square distribution is Expected value and variance If then E(X) = k Var(X) = 2k Since you're looking for characteristics of males vs. females, the latter applies. I'd use the characteristic value as Male and Female, E(X) = k Then solve for variance : Var(X) = 2k That's a pretty simple function: The solution would be: X (t;k) = (1-2it) (exp)-k/2 Use the formula function inside Excel to compute. Dealing with two charachteristc values, you'd have to sum and average the scores of all males and all females as well, to get a good symmetrical view. God, this isn't rocket science.......

Not drinking anything tonight. Head cold. If TheraFlu counts, I guess that's what it is. BillVon hates me. "Get these balls!"

/\ | | | Again, he's the man. I'm still pissing all over your state whenever I can. There really does need to be an "F" in Texas. Right before "TEXAS" with a "-" in between would be a good start. "Get these balls!"

That's because they weren't white. Duh. If I called you a cracker, you'd be good, too. But if a black man did, you'd be pissed. Cracker. Cracker-ass cracker. Whitey craker mofo. Bitch-ass inbred whitey cracker sister-breeder........ See? Coming from a white guy, you're not so mad are you? But if I told you I was black, it'd probably change, wouldn't it? Quit quantifying things you will never be able to wrap your tiny little mind around. It is, what it is. When you're black, then you may make comments about blacks. Until then, you're just an opinion that doesn't matter. Or change whom is your PRESIDENT. Personally? I hope Barack responds to the "Writ of Certiorari " with his dick in one hand, and the Texas state flag in the other. One has been used to create life. The other has been used to stifle it through opinionated idiocracy, and the resulting legislation from the pre-most mentioned in the precluding statement. I'd wipe my ass on that one star, if your flag wasn't MADE IN CHINA. "Get these balls!"

Why, oh WHY did we ever buy this state from the French?????? Someone PLEASE remind me? At least the French have good "whine". And cheese comes with it! All we're left with is the foremost. (AND trailer parks, AND a BAD president, AND more tax liability from hurricane damage........ AND mad-cow disease, AND guys that think they they were destined to become Texans because there's SOOOOOO much good stuff coming from that state......) Damn................. "Get these balls!"

Because as a result of his presidency, the point is even well-stated by the higher-ups in Miltary Command: "We're making them faster than we can KILL them". His watch, as it were. I didn't say "behind", but it is, after all, under his "watchful eye", as Sarah Palin likes to say. Commander-in-chief, until, wait, he's not responsible for that.......... "Get these balls!"

And he still won't reply to any of MY comments. Cannon-fodder, this Frenchie. President Obama is probably "more white" than you are, which furthermore saves us from having to barr the inbreeding, and is definatley more-qualified to run the country than you are. Texas, I forget, why are you guys so proud of a place that you were accidentally born? What, you were chosen to be born there? By who? GOD? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna buy myself, and Ozzy, a KEG OF BEER, and we're gonna pollute that whole state. I make a pledge: I WILL PISS A LINE, FROM ONE END OF TEXAS (along I-40) TO THE OTHER END, BEFORE I DIE, SO HELP ME GOD! Who's with me??? "Get these balls!"

Yeah yeah yeah, call it what you like. I'd prefer you call Barack Obama "Mr. President". That's the respect he deserves. Save "boy" for your family. I don't refer to President Bush as "child killer", "asshole", "idiot", "dipshit", or anything else that his wife probably calls him in a good domestic dispute. (You Frenchies (Texans) are known for those, I've seen "Cops".) You Frenchies really are in denial aren't you? The worst thing about Ozzy pissing on the Alamo? He forgot the REST of the state. "Get these balls!"

Hmmmmmm..... Don't know where you are going with this. "Get these balls!"

Bush was born in Texas. If you go back far enough, that was FRANCE. Bush is therefore, French. NOT AMERICAN. French. They owned the land. I'm sure his family bred with some, so he must be one himself. Based on the idiotic, 6th grade logic you guys are using, it MUST be true. I think that if you have an IQ under 125, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. We need to make THAT an amendment, it may be a good way to get the churchies and racists out of our lives for good. Bottom line? Obama WON. WON. So you can keep Texas where it is. Personally, I voted you guys out of the Union when you banned Ozzy from performing there. "Get these balls!"

Which is where the 9 millimeter comes in REALLY handy. Gives a whole NEW meaning to the term "facial". Not just for porn, anymore..... "Get these balls!"

I already told the company that I work for that I will go to India to train people IF I'M ARMED. They asked why armed? THAT'S WHY. At least here, in the US, I can carry a concealed weapon in 90% of the places I go, LEGALLY. (Which is also why I'm not scared of a terrorist, I can hit one at 500 yards with EASE!!!!!) I believe in peace, but there are always some assholes out there that prey on people like me. So I say we shoot them all in the face. Fuck 'em. Anyone see the picture of that little boy that got shot? Man that REALLY pissed me off. Indians are really good people, too. Sucks that they have to get caught in the middle of all of this crap Bush started. "Get these balls!"

After the Klan/Nazi shootout, the govt. actually DID. Both groups (Klan/Nazis) were listed as "violent", and were investigated thoroughly, the leaders ousted, and remained on the shortlist..... until..... You figure it out. "Klan activity investigated Coast Guard officer accused By Cristina Silva, Globe Staff | March 31, 2006 The Coast Guard is investigating an active-duty officer after he distributed fliers recruiting members for the Ku Klux Klan in Barnstable Municipal Airport and other locations, a spokesman for the military branch said. According to Barnstable police, Petty Officer Chad Blair posted the fliers, which read ''this is the time for action" and featured an image of a hooded Klansman carrying a sword and riding a horse, in the men's bathroom at the airport beginning on March 6. " The Klan was listed as being "disbanded" unitl close to 2003/4. If it happened under MY watch? Hmmmm..... "Get these balls!"

True, true........... Which is the whole reason that I skydive! (I peaked at 32 in the Information Technology biz.) (Plus, it gets my dick hard, and the wife likes that.) Obama will either be the last politician that I actually belive in, or just another politician, time will tell. But let's face facts: HE CAN'T POSSIBLY fuck up more than whom we currently have. And even if he accomplishes nothing? He still wins, IMHO. Now that being said: REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT, MOTHUFUKKAH! So we can actually SPEAK OUR MINDS again. I'm sick of being investigated for saying what's on my mind. It JUST ISN'T COOL, bitches!!!!! (And I actually PAY taxes, so it sucks to see my bucks wasted.) "Get these balls!"

Oh yeah, not dissing the Myles, just I found the other songs lack that whole "anthem" effect, which is what I look for in tunes, I write that way. Get with me offline, and I'll send you one of mine. No, no bad intentions in any of that. I have a 4 octave voice, and so does he. I was just stating that the rest of the album doesn't have that "lighters up", HUGE stadium, rock anthem feel, for ME. No bad intentions, much respect for that effort. I write 3-5 chord songs at best, but that's what I like. It's just my asshole opinion, and preference. That has to be one of the BEST songs I've heard this year, by the way. It's REALLY powerful, and can reach MASSES. I hope they market that one. It will sell MILLIONS. "Get these balls!"

Myles Kennedy kicks ass, I just listened to "Before Tomorrow Comes", ("Alter Bridge" for the uninformed), and that is their new anthem. Too bad the rest of the album fails to give that kind of power to the effort.... Sorry, I was off subject. Universal Records is NOT a good label.... Ask me how I know. I would have gone with Virgin, they still care about artists. Richard Branson has a lot in common with skydivers, as well. But, who am I to judge, my records sucked..... Anyway, Myles writes words that we all should hear: "I guess time will only tell, so don't let it be, before tomorrow comes, before you turn away, take a hand in need, Before tomorrow comes, you can change EVERYTHING" It's true. Damn it all, and make a difference from now on. Or, just simply be an asshole and ask WHY we should support those in need. It's YOUR choice. Does anyone care anyway where we're going? Does anyone care at all? Good tunes....... good tunes. "Get these balls!"

(And I hate to do this to you.....) Shouldn't lawyers be on that other plan, where they save a few bucks by jumping without parachutes? You only get ONE, but I hear it's KILLER! "Get these balls!"

Michelob Ultra. Gotta watch the carbs. I'd prefer a good micro-brew, but the Dr. says carbs are mine enemy........ "Get these balls!"

Very well stated, DSE, however I like the "fucktards" statement better than "dolts". Lipstick on a pig, as it were..... "Get these balls!"

I will drink a beer, anywhere, with ANYONE, at any time........ In most of those (Klan) families, don't like 40 people have to smile before there's a whole set of teeth in a family portrait? "Get these balls!"

I was a soldier, dude.

And I love you BACK!!! (Which is why I do what I do) Keep fighting the good fight, yourself, my friend. "Get these balls!"

Heh. I was the "Lead Programmer /Analyst" for the US Risk Management division of a large financial company for a number of years. Yes, most corporations DO try to manage risk. They develop logical algorythms or "risk models". We used fuzzy logic and geo-positional data to determine if a POS callback was deemed necessary. Spending patterns, as it were, and logical patterns to determine "human behavior", lol. The whole ideaology is STILL funny, to me, because all humans are unpredicatable and irrational. In our initial findings, we determined that an analyst at a desk, using actual human interroation / decisioning techniques was more accurate, by FAR, than any computational logic than we could possibly produce. We transitioned THAT model to the credit floor. But, since computers cost less, the "biz" decided to go with that, and suck the rest up as operational costs. Humans made BETTER decisions, but cost more, hence the whole housing mess (where CEOs actually said "I'm not to blame". They were right, their greediness was, because they had all of the statisctics, they just used money to manipulate them, because they "owed" the investors money. Now the investors AND the company are broke, but hey, don't ever listen to guy that TOLD YOU SO the WHOLE TIME!!!!) Now, all of these decisions are being deferred to a society that is built on being non-confrontational. Well, in business, it takes a bit of confrontation to challege decisions that are being made. Challenge brings insight (especially) in interrogation, which is where information ABOUT information (metadata) is derived in the first place. If you can't challenge a server being down, how in the hell are you going to challenge a guy who's holding a fake card??? "Thank you, drive through please!" kinda doesn't work..... Me? I'm just glad I found a company with some nutsack in the equation. I just hope this whole India thing doesn'r compromise customer service. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Yeah RIGHT!!!!! Told ya so, part deux)..... Never been happier.... (Until I own my own DZ, and yes, my CEO knows that I think he's the fucking man, BTW... I may just take him skydiving one day.) Sorry for being long-winded..... Been there, DONE that. Seen that, owned that, and it sucked. And here we go, doing it again. (sigh) But hey, it's just MONEY at the end of the day. At least it's not MINE this time. Sometimes, at the end of the day, you can look back, having foreseen all of the consequences that some "leaders" bring upon themselves, have a beer, laugh, and say "I TOLD YOU SO". That's enough for me. Even having been FIRED for relaying that opinion? Yeah, it was all worth it! Some people don't listen, and are doomed to never learn. Too bad it cost so many people their lives, income, houses, and this whole mess in the process. I'm just happy being the one that told ya so.... Manage THAT. That's why "they" have skydiving pictures on their walls to motivate them when we: WE DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take risks, get fired. It's GOOD FOR YOU! 'Nuff said. "Get these balls!"

Like you wouldn't bjork her in the pooper..... "Get these balls!"
