PREFERENCE FOR PLAYING ORDER IN GAMES WITH AND WITHOUT REPLACEMENT: MOTIVATIONAL BIASES AND PROBABILITY MISESTIMATIONS

Preference for playing order in games with and without replacement: Motivational biases and probability misestimations

This research explores the preference for playing order in games in which each of several players draws a random event (e.g., a ball from an urn), with and without replacement after each draw.Three studies show that people tend to prefer to draw early regardless of whether the game is with or without replacement, although the expected probability o

The population randomization observation process (PROP) assessment method: using systematic habitation observations of street segments to establish household-level epidemiologic population samples

Abstract Background Identifying and intervening on health disparities requires representative community public health data.For cities with high vacancy and transient populations, traditional methods of population estimation for refining random samples are not feasible.The aim of this project was to develop a novel method for systematic observations

High-energy-density electron beam from interaction of two successive laser pulses with subcritical-density plasma

It is shown by particle-in-cell simulations body exfoliant that a narrow electron beam with high energy and charge density can be generated in a subcritical-density plasma by two consecutive laser pulses.Although the first laser pulse dissipates rapidly, the second pulse can propagate for a long distance in the thin wake channel created by the firs
