463- What’s the Real Probability: Theoretical, Empirical, or Neither?

Friday, April 27, 2012: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Franklin Hall 8 (Marriott Downtown)
Lead Speaker:
Bill Rosenthal
Co-speakers:
Steven Cosares and Steve Hinds

Come hear their beliefs and brainstorm how we can improve our teaching of probability by taking them into account. Simulators and the place of probability in statistics are each part of the mix.
