the axiomatic fate…
Friday, February 23rd, 2007hmm… long time no blogging… been wanting to post entries these days but yeah u know… i got no time… hahah gaya banget, but that’s true… i got stats midterm next saturday, presentationS (n i mean presentationS with an S) due each n every following weekS for the other 4 modules, ANALytical skills essay (omgwtfbbq haven’t even think about what the hell i am going to do) for week 10… and now here i am in the edge of week 8 still struggling with stats catch-ups… huahhhh…
eniwei talking about statistics… i just can’t stand studying stats… well stats had been easy for years back then when all we need to know is just the good old mean, median, mode… haha that was years back then at secondary school i guess… advancing to high school, it complicated itself with binomial, normal, n poisson distribution… hmm it’s still okay i guess… since that time all 3 of us (out of 5 math higher level geeks - the 2 of em being too smart to even be confused with it, no wonder kevin went to MIT) were struggling together… or at least i felt that 3 of us were in the same boat… i dunno if stella n alfon really did struggle or not, but yeah it just felt better having others whom u can share ur grumbles with…
now? stats sucks ass haha… just when i thought i was over with complicated math once i finished IB, i got stuck even deeper to it in STAT102 (the supposedly-being-the-harder-stats-course-than-STAT101 as ppl said)… oh ya btw that applies to ANALytical skills also… once i thought i was over with good old IB’s Theory of Knowledge but du~h… the cycle repeated itself in this CORE002 module… eniwei back to stats, WHY THE HELL THEY PUT ME IN STAT102? WHY NOT STAT101? U THINK I’M SMART OR WHAT? apparently ppl, i’ve only been able to obtain a grade of 5 out of 7 in my math hl… with lots (n i mean loads) of luck of course hahahas… N IF THAT STILL MADE ME ELIGIBLE BEING IN STAT102, THEN SCREW U OFFICE OF REGISTRAR… i know some econs student (who was supposed to get STAT102 since econs were supposed to deal with lots of statistics - one reason why i don’t really prefer econs) that instead ended up doing STAT101… JUST WHAT WRONG WITH U GUYS IN OFFICE OF REGISTRAR THERE? even worse… i was preassigned in this new prof’s class, apparently just moving from NUS this term… it’s… horrible… i don’t even know wtf he’s teaching hahas…
to illustrate how blur i am following his lecture, i shall quote one bit of his fifth week’s lecture note where he mumbled about the properties of exponential distribution (just what d heck is exponential distribution)… anyway it reads:
the exponential distribution has the property of being memoryless, i.e.
P(X > s+t | X > t) = P(X > s)
despite the alien formula (which i also don’t really know what it talks about hahahas… now u know how stooopid i am), did u notice one strange thing there? well in case u didn’t, let me make it clearer:
the exponential distribution has the property of being memoryless, i.e.
P(X > s+t | X > t) = P(X > s)
there u go… got it? yeah u’re rite… JUST WHAT ON EARTH IS BEING “MEMORYLESS” SUPPOSED TO MEAN? IF THIS EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION IS “MEMORYLESS”, THEN OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS “HAVE MEMORY” HUH? n guess what? he didn’t explain about that so-called memoryless thingy…
oh n btw i NEVER agree with math’s axiomatic rule that probability is countable… i mean, just how come those math geeks can claim that the probability of obtaining a ‘6′ in dice-rolling is 1/6… how if God plays along? how if God made those math geniuses (who once invented the axiom of probability) never ever obtained a ‘6′ in zillions time of rolling a frikin dice? if i were God, i’d made myself clearer: “just how come u mortals can claim that the probability of obtaining a ‘head’ in tossing a fair coin is 0.5? i’ll made your coin-tossing observation resulted in tails for those zillions times experiment of yours… u can’t mess around with the power of immortals mwahahaha…”
now u know why scientists of all sorts (including mathematicians) are generally atheists…
n now u know just why i am not God… LOL…
