It is a dilemma because a decision from the perspective of public health and a decision from the perspective of economy (or freedom of people) are too distant on the spectrum of the level of restriction. Yet, some decision makers seek a compromising decision in order to succeed in both public health and economy. Under five assumptions with simple logistic models, we demonstrate hypothetical scenarios for the probability of simultaneous successes (both public health and economy) and the probability of simultaneous failures. The take-home messages are not surprising: We probably want to solve our pandemic crisis sequentially rather than simultaneously, and our responsible actions can lift the probability of simultaneous successes if we desperately need a compromising decision to solve it simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"46 1","pages":"34 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89781529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even in a group of people who are identical in every way and are only subject to random costs (such as that incurred from severe weather, major illness, and bad accidents) or random benefits (such as those derived from lucky breaks), the distribution of wealth will be nudged towards taking the shape of the normal distribution’s cousin, the probit, with its very unequal allocation. The larger these random costs and benefits are and the more frequently they occur, the more severe inequality will become. Moreover, the inequality will tend to be most extreme at the very top and very bottom of the wealth distribution, reflecting the asymptotic curls at either end of the probit curve.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"12 1","pages":"18 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81379830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Admissions decisions have continued anyway without them. Some schools are debating making the change permanent. In this note we discuss the wisdom of such policies invoking historical wisdom. We conclude that when making important decisions about students, inevitably errors will intrude whether test scores are used or not. Bad decisions can still be made using test scores, but they can be made more easily without them.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"61 1","pages":"28 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86059316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He learned cost accounting at the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later adapted its data-driven approach to managing his steel business. He successfully outperformed competitors by introducing a detailed data collection program within his steel mills, and using the resulting information for personnel management, marketing, and capital investment decisions. Carnegie was also a consumer of US census data, using it extensively in his polemical book Triumphant Democracy to argue in favor of the US political and economic arrangements, as opposed to those of old Europe; and for making decisions on donating public libraries and church organs across the world. However, Carnegie lacked a modern understanding of statistical variation. The statistics profession has advanced, and narrowed, since Carnegie's time, and I argue that Carnegie's modern counterparts in business would not be welcome in the American Statistical Association today.","PeriodicalId":88226,"journal":{"name":"Chance (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"57 1","pages":"12 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91305610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
