What? It might have something to do with probability theory. |

I just thought someone would have a more complete, succinct explanation than just the general definition I know, that's all. |

I don't really know...sorry i'm kinda useless here - it's a little too philosophical for me; not enough numbers. All I know is that it's involved with the scientific method (which tbh, most scientists don't really follow anyway. Stuff usually happens by mistake) ![]() @Arti: ok! just gimme a couple minutes to find an old question @ihlita: LOL I will try to do it over the weekend. it's difficult b/c most of my time involves doing math or what have you; not a lot of room for overlap during the day. we can't all be awesome and get paid for our art like you

Well, judging from the theory itself, it's best to stick with that general definition. ![]() But, I don't think there is a more complicated explanation. When given two hypotheses, according to Occam's Razor, it's better to stick with the simplest, because it's broader and therefore has more chance of being true. So it might have some calculations in probability theory, but I think that this is more of a field for formal logic rather than maths. |

lol, my psychology teacher would have an aneurysm if he heard you say that. He was determined that psychology wasn't a science because not all branches followed the scientific method as strictly as possible. And thanks!

Depends on who you'd share them with. If you shared them with Yul, you'd have none. She'd eat them all.

This is so strange to me because all the psychologists I've met are extremely hurt of the butt that psychology was not recognised/continues to be devalued as a science by physicists, chemists, the like, because of it was traditionally deemed to be to "wishy-washy". My university is very heavily focused on the research design component and they always do a shit ton of calculations to try and back up their hypotheses (overcompensation, really). Orange: I'm starting a research experiment (or maybe it's a correlational study, we haven't decided) about how electronic media affects mental health. Sounds ridiculously broad rn since I haven't done enough reading to specify the independent variables. Zicke: I'm not certain, it does sound to be related to the scientific method. It's acutally not because you want to cast a wider net (as Arti has suggested) but because you don't want to add more assumptions/variables than necessary because this inevitably means more error/probability of what you're trying to predict happening due to chance more than anything else. edit: I guess what I mean is that you assume the hypothesis that contains the fewest extraneous variables/assumptions to be the most likely to be true because it is least likely to be reliant on chance/other sources of error. And then you attempt to find support for it via experiments. |

ok!! BONUS ROUND QUESTION: Seohyun tediously lists the positive integers from 1 to 100, inclusive. Taeyeon then comes by and erases any prime number because she's a douche. Sooyoung then comes and erases any remaining multiple of 3 because Seohyun took away her junk food and she wanted vengeance. Hyoyeon, not wanting to miss out on the fun, follows suit and erases any remaining multiple of 5, and finally Ginger sits on the whiteboard effectively smearing remaining multiples of 7 as to make them indistinguishable. In the end, how many numbers remain? |

idk, I was trying to think about it in terms of probability theory, since she asked about maths, but I've really no clue as to how I would integrate that, so I made an assumption. From how I understand it, it's definitely more to do with the scalability of the model. If you add more stuff to do with a hypothesis that's supposed to act as a basis for other things, like if you want to make a point from which you can develop other theories, you should do it very simply, because you can complicate things infinitely and the application of it is likely to get so complex it'll become unusable, especially if you want to use that theory to explain more complicated things. So, if I want to talk about a theory that encompasses something to do with how we interpret sense data, I shouldn't add more information than necessary, because there are a huge number of ways to talk about that, and when it comes to talking about individual kinds of sense data and the variants thereof, it'll become even more complicated, and it'll just end up sounding like a mess. dis is fab |

24? Or, 23, depending on whether 1 is a prime or not. If that's not it, idk. |

@Arti: perhaps a more detailed discussion another time, i am actually busy (which is unusual). i don't think your wrong about the possibly of using probability theory to explain OR. but it's more like you're trying to limit the probability of you're being incorrect, which in turn should increase your probability of correctness or something. and the objective of keeping it simple, i think, is so that it can be reliably tested. because if you're trying to legitimise a theory, you have to present evidence of its validity and reliability and this won't be possible if you are putting a clusterfuck of variables in there. it's just not feasible. |

Yeah, I didn't think so, but some of my previous maths teachers have told me that it is. And I just wrote down all of the multiples and prime numbers. Got this, organised in lines of 10s for easy counting. 02-03-05-06-07-09-10-11-12-13 14-15-17-18-19-20-21-23-24-25 27-28-29-30-31-33-35-36-37-39 40-41-42-43-45-47-48-49-50-51 53-54-55-56-57-59-60-61-63-65 66-67-69-70-71-72-73-75-77-78 79-80-81-83-84-85-87-89-90-91 93-85-96-97-98-99 @Babycakes Personally, I wouldn't use probability theory to explain OR, since I don't think it's really got much to do with solid calculations. Zicke asked for a maths explanation, and that's the closest link I could find, so I guessed as to what it might be. |

ok, but a chart doesn't really tell me anything. What did you do? How did you manipulate those numbers? @paper: gurl, explanation if you want credit.
