Bayes’ Theorem Definitions:
The vertical bar | stands for "given that".
P = Probability.
A & B are events.
P(A) & P(B) are the probabilities of events A and B. Each event is separate from the other.
P(A|B) is the probability of A being true given that event B is true.

Example:
Say we have 2 coolers at an owambe: Cooler A is filled with 10packs of small chops only. Cooler B has 5packs of small chops and 5packs of Asun. You are then asked to close your eyes and pick a pack out of one cooler, which pack would you pick? #MachineLearning #SoDS18

Because you know that we have more of small chops in both coolers, your brain is most likely going to tell you have picked a pack of small chops - even when your eyes are closed. This is not wrong.

2/6 You can have a preference and that’s cool. You like one thing. I like another. We run into problems when we argue about verifiable facts. Watch out for #confirmationbias

3/6 Ignoring evidence can impact people around you… and that’s bad. We live in a #BigData in which everything is quantified. To solve our problems, we need to become data-literate.

The Denver Public School District @DPSNewsNow is probably most well known for #Columbine but another #SchoolShooting took place there in 2013. The High School was Araphoe High and it was a #PromiseProgram school. On 12-14-2013 the @denverpost writes denverpost.com/2013/12/14/ara…
Meet Claire Davis who I am dedicating my #Research to as well as her family.
Prior to 2013, the @DPSNewsNow had numerous problems with student discipline and suspensions. This is, now, a familiar, theme to what we’ve heard at #Broward and their issues. Enter #Obama #EricHolder and the #SchooltoPrisonPipelineProgram b.3cdn.net/advancement/ad… (check dates)
