What useful tool allows us to refine our previous estimate of the probability of an event given new observations?

1-bayes Theorem
2-The Central Limit Theorem
3-The x-bar chart
4-The Normal Distribution

i think normal distribution but i am not sure!

If you are sampling from the same population and your estimate of p(x) is (x)/n (n=sample size) then the result of repeated random samples from the population will converge to the population value according to the central limit theorem. The underlying population doesn't need to be normally distributed.

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'

The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
