William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry.

Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Response to Monty Hall Problem

Statistical information is based on the probability of something to happen. Even though it does not depict certainty but just the odds of something to happen, it still holds value in my opinion. If the statistics say odds are 50% or even 75% then I might not get influenced by them, but when it says there is 80% or 90% probability like in the case of disease example and the users of Acme toothpaste then I would consider it is a very healthy trend.

This allows the assemblage of a body of knowledge that can be viewed from different perspectives and provides insight into a topic and how it fits into the greater world around it.
