cherdano Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I would be curious if anyone knows more good probability "paradoxa" such as the two-envelope problem posted here a couple of months ago. Wikipedia has a good list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Prob...heory_paradoxesBut maybe there is more good stuff out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph23 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It is probably out there somewhere on the Web, and I think Martin Gardner included it in his paradox book...which I no longer have.... the Great Predictor? Do you know it ? I think it is also called Newcomb's Paradox...... regarding two boxes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Lots of paradoxa mentioned in economics. For probability try Simpson's paradox. In lotteries (related to probability) are the Allais paradox and Machina's paradox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
