But what, exactly, is chance? In this book, accomplished statistician and storyteller Bart K. Holland takes us on a tour of the world of probability. Weaving together tales from real life - from the spread of the bubonic plague in medieval Europe or the number of Prussian cavalrymen kicked to death by their horses, through IQ test results and deaths by voodoo curse, to why you have to wait in line for rides at Disneyworld - Holland captures the reader's imagination with surprising examples of probability in action, everyday events that can profoundly affect our lives but are controlled by just one number."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Probabilities|vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010108480 650 0 Chance|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85022484 |vPopular works.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001720 650 7 Probabilities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1077737 650 7 Chance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/852032 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Popular works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423846 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHolland, Bart K.|tWhat are the chances?. |dBaltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002 |z0801869412|w(DLC) 2001005687|w(OCoLC)48003130 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=75701|zOnline eBook.
