Math is more than symbolic manipulation. You need to explain where the equations come from. The best I can decipher is that you are calculating the median of a Binomial distribution given k=0. Your "error" comes from the fact that

This is the Bayesian vs. frequentist view point. What the OP is talking about is assigning a Beta(1,1) prior on the distribution and observing n heads in a row would yield a distribution of the bias of Beta(1, 1+n) and the mean of that dist

Usually emigrate focuses on the country of departure. All the forms I'm filling out have to do with immigration and not emigration because the process of leaving a country is not usually the legal hurdle.

Why are you stating a hypothesis as if it was fact? I'm 30 and started learning Spanish (1,000 hours so far) and think I'll be near-native level in another 1,000 hours and maybe actually native in 5,000 total hours which I might g

The thing being learned here are (a,b) and you do that using data (x,y). We can rewrite our input to be of the form z = {sin(x), x^2} and then now we have the model y = a z_1 + b z_2 which is now obviously linear in z. Since x is given to u

It is important to separate the teams vs. the company itself. The Ineos cycling team has a total budget closer to $50M. That's the budget to support 20+ riders and all the support staff.

That's the current course and the subject of the debate. The point is Tierra del Fuego (the southern tip of South America) is very close to Antarctica and so that circumnavigation is very short.

They obviously breathe in exhaust occasionally but the caravan tries to stay far enough that there is no slipstream and the wind would make it a non-issue. Those dunces that light flares during mountain summits are probably much worse.

I don't think it is negativity. Someone else already called it out, but if you were to face east and then travel in a straight line, you would leave Earth's orbit. Thus, the question inherently is taking Earth into consideration.

It actually is 0 or 1 in this case. You either have the power of deduction or you do not. You have either proved a theorem or you have not. If you got to a correct conclusion through incorrect means, you have incorrectly reasoned. There is
