Probably lost his balance. Giants don’t do well on sloops.

What is the probability that a freak storm would hit the Bayesian”

[1Old Pro]

a water spout would grab that thing and twist it around.

[BenLurkin]

Wow. Just came back from Sicily. Unbelievable how many luxury boats are anchored off Taormina and in the harbor of Siracusa.

[nwrep]

LOL nice. Wonder how many here will get the pun.

Kind of fishy. If it wasn’t for the fraud trial I wouldn’t think that.

RIP to those that died.

[Leep]

Probably COVID.

Made me think of Robert Maxwell and the conspiracy theories about his Yacht death being a hit on the Lady Ghislaine, and he was controversial and corrupt.

This one would have to be more like some sort of sabotage if it were along those lines.

P(A|B) = P(B|A) P(A) / P(B)

Ha!

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

what is the probability they had no life preservers on board?

[LouAvul]

I hadda look it up. Funny.

“Bayes’ theorem updates one’s prior beliefs P(A) after considering the new evidence B.”

My prior belief was that all Democrats are hard-core communists. After considering the new information this week, my prior belief does not need updating.

probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred

[OldHarbor]

Sounds something out of the Voyages of Sinbad or Jason and the Argonauts.

While in the Navy 6th fleet some of the worst storms I was ever in happened in the Med near Straits of Sicily. A real nasty piece of water at times.
