"虽然上述定义很直观,而且大多数读者也一直这么认为,但它却有很严重的缺陷... 英文原文:Although the preceding definition is certainly intuitively pleasing and should always be kept in mind by the reader, it possesses a serious drawback .."
"3.34 在例3f中,假设新的证据从不同可能的解释,事实上,证据有90%的可能造假。 英文原文:3.34. In Example 3f,suppose that the new evidence is subject to different possible interpretations and in fact shows only that it is 90 percent likely that the craminal possesses the characteristic in question."
"An infinite sequence of independent trials is to be performed. Each trial results in a success with probability p and a failure with probability 1 − p. What is the probabil ity that (c) all trials result in successes?"
