This is the QQPlot of a data. What can be inferred from this plot ?
(Tested against Normal Distribution)

The first one is not normal - there is more data on the tails than there would be in a normal distribution.

The second one looks approximately normal, except for the fact that it is discrete instead of continuous.

Jaque-Bera tests failed for first dataset.
while for data sets similar to second one, few were passing JB test for normality.

these are the p-values for JB test for 14 data sets similar to second graph.

P-VALUE
0.005
0.039

0.00287214

0.0947931
0.782434

0.12
0.257
0.656
0.246

you can see almost 3 sets qualify for normality.

Though there QQPlot are almost similar.

What can be the reason for difference ?
 
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'
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.
