{- | The newspaper "Sueddeutsche" asked their readers what professions 16 persons have, by only showing the photographies of them and three choices. Their statistics was: 22% readers had 0 to 5 correct answers (category 0) 75% readers had 6 to 11 correct answers (category 1) 3% readers had 12 to 16 correct answers (category 2) Can this statistics be explained with random guessing, or is there some information in the photographies that the readers could utilize? I got 6 correct answers. -} module Numeric.Probability.Example.Profession where import qualified Numeric.Probability.Distribution as Dist -- type Probability = Rational type Probability = Double type Dist a = Dist.T Probability a correctAnswers :: Dist Int correctAnswers = sum $ replicate 16 $ Dist.fromFreqs [(0,2), (1,1)] categories :: Dist Int categories = Dist.map (\n -> if n<=5 then 0 else if n<=11 then 1 else 2) correctAnswers
