MMike_bb reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with
Agree.
But the book is written in Russian, so it seems it hasn't been translated correctly? Likely the translation algorithm is for everyday... -

Like.
It may be a language issue, but "equiprobable" is not the correct term to use. If ##V_x## is a random variable then we could speak of... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.I had 4 semesters. Mechanics and molecular physics, electromagnetism and waves, optics and atomic physics, quantum mechanics. Yes, 8...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Incomplete (base course) - 4 semesters. Complete - 6-8 semesters

MMike_bb reacted to Charles Link's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with
Informative.
I didn't read every post, but Reif's book Statistical and Thermal Physics would answer just about anything you would want to know on... -
MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Complete course = base course + advanced course Complete is equivalent for "full course" in russian

That's why I keep telling you to start with the textbook for that course.

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.Yes. In Russia in most universities incomplete course is introductory physics course. (base course)

Well then, I don't know what you meant by what you wrote in Post #39. You either completed the course or you didn't.

MMike_bb reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Agree.
I see no contradiction. I see consistency. The probability that ##10^{23}## independent samples drawn from a normal distribution with...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.jbriggs444, So what? Your statement "Yes, any large sample from any distribution which is symmetric about zero is overwhelmingly...

MMike_bb replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.jbriggs444, I agree with this statement: "Yes, any large sample from any distribution which is symmetric about zero is overwhelmingly...

MMike_bb reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion? with Agree.
I read this as "given any distribution which is symmetric about zero, the distribution mean will be zero". That is a true statement...
