Probability and statistics are powerful tools for describing the real world using methods that are accessible to students with a solid background in introductory algebra. This supplementary text to... More > White Crane Education's Algebra 1 curriculum, starts with a discussion of the basic concepts of probability then moves into descriptive statistics including using charts to summarize and analyze data, modeling data with linear regression and drawing conclusions about a population using the normal distribution. A student designed research project involving data collection and analysis is outlined through the exercises at the end of several of the book's sections.< Less
In Hadith terminology, we come across terms such as thiqa (trustworthy), mutqin (convincing), ‘adl (just), sadūq (veracious), matrūk (abandoned), da‘īf (weak) and so on.... More > Each of these terms is used to denote the level of the reliability of a transmitter (rāvī) of Prophetic Traditions. And there is another group of terms such as sahīh (sound), hasan (good) and da‘īf (weak). When any of these terms are predicated of a Prophetic Tradition, they indicate the proportion of probability of whether a supposed prophetic tradition actually belongs to the Prophet. Examining prophetic traditions, scholars studying prophetic traditions took into account the consistency of transmitters in general terms and all different chains of transmission of a prophetic tradition. In this book, I propose a model to determine numerical values of classes of transmitters and of properties (hukm) of prophetic traditions. It will also to help us identify the most probable form of any prophetic tradition.< Less
