coin tossing

基本解釋

I remember some students even decided who to vote for by tossing a coin.
我記得有同學甚至以拋硬幣的方式決定選誰。
If a losing male continues to be aggressive, the chances are he will be seriously injured (it is unlikely natural selection could have foreseen competitive coin-tossing).
假使一個失敗的男性繼續(xù)保持進攻性，那麼他就會有嚴重受傷的可能。（自然選擇不大可能會料想到競爭性的拋硬幣）。
For example, the experiment could be tossing a coin, I will call the outcome heads the number one, and I'll call the outcome tails the number zero, so I've just defined a random variable.
比方說,拋硬幣的試騐,我將正麪曏上的結果對應數字1,反麪曏上的結果對應數字0,這樣我就定義了一個隨機變量

Let's say the outcome of an experiment, like tossing a coin.
比方說某一試騐的結果,比如拋硬幣

The view Mandelbrot is arguing against goes like this: Price is determined by binary decisions, like coin tossing.

One solution is to modify the coin-tossing model--to add bells and whistles until the equations match the observations.
