Maximum Likelihood methods calculate the probability of generating an observed set of sequences, given a tree. They then search for the tree that maximises this probability.

First, represent the information on a tree diagram: From the tree diagram, the probability of winning the second set = 27 50 + 10 50 = 37 50.

P-value is the level of marginal significance within a statistical hypothesis test, representing the probability of the occurrence of a given event.

To calculate the probability of an event, the total number of possible outcomes is often required. For simple situations, making a list or completing a sample space diagram is enough but in more ...
