COUNTERINTUITIVE PROBLEM, INTUITIVE REPRESENTATION
Blog posts about counterintuitive probability problems generate lots of opinions with a high probability.
Andrew Gelman and readers have been having a lot of fun with the following probability problem:
I have two children. One is a boy born on a Tuesday. What is the probability I have two boys? The first thing you think is “What has Tuesday got to do with it?” Well, it has everything to do with it.
DSN agrees with Andrew that one virtue of the “population-distribution” method is that it forces one to be explicit about various aspects of the problem, and in so doing, causes much confusion to disappear.
As a public service this week, Decision Science News presents the population-distribution representation of the problem (what it thinks of as the Gigerenzerian / Hoffragian / Peter Sedlmeier-ian
representation of the problem) in a visual form.
To follow the logic, see Andrew’s post on how he solved the problem. Voila:
Red means “outside the reference class”. Yellow means “in the reference class but not boy-boy”. Green means “inside the reference class and boy-boy”.
Boy-boy in the reference class occurs with probability Green / (Green + Yellow) or 13 /27
NOTE
To see why DSN calls these Gigerenzerian / Hoffragian / Sedlmeierian representations, see:Sedlmeier, P. (1997). BasicBayes: A tutor system for simple Bayesian inference.

Snow (1963)
via youtube.com
With forecasters suggesting that the current winter might break some
of the temperature and snowfall records from Winter 1962/63, here's a
reminder of what snow meant for the railway back then:
There are scenes from all over BR including Scotland, Setlle/Carlisle
and the Western region. There are steam and diesel locomotives,
several shots of "Blue Pullmans" and a fine if brief glimpse of a
maroon D1000 "Western" class pulling a uniform rake of maroon coaches
at about 5:40 in.

The Case of "Santa's Waffle House Polaroid Crotch Shot" Dist. Court, ND Texas 1998
The Case of "Santa's Waffle House Polaroid Crotch Shot" Dist. Court, ND Texas 1998
the Santa's Sleigh/Polaroid "crotch shot"
Tim Mercer also lied about the disgusting incident that took place on a Winnebago being used by management employees for the annual "Santa's Sleigh" program, where Christmas gifts were delivered to the children of the restaurant hourly employees in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Mercer was sitting next to (or across the aisle from) Therese Scribner. He suddenly 900*900 stuck his Polaroid camera between her legs, put it up under her dress, and snapped a picture of Scribner's crotch.[91] Surprisingly, Tim Mercer admitted at trial that he did "something" with a Polaroid camera involving Therese; but, he then proceeded to lie repeatedly about the incident: he really "didn't intend" to take a crotch picture, and he really just "put the camera down at her leg," not under her dress. According to his next batch of lies, Mercer claimed that "Therese didn't seem unhappy or offended or upset"; that she just grabbed his camera and said, "You nut"; that "we were all taking pictures of each other"; that "it was not disrespect because it was done in a joking manner"; and that afterwards, "we had a blast, a fun time."
The Court then reminded Tim Mercer that he had "told one of the attorneys that the incident with the Polaroid camera was not a violation of the Waffle House Sexual Harassment Policy." Mercer was asked to explain this answer, and he replied:
"MERCER: It sounds real bad, I agree with that now, but it's just at the time it was just a fun — it was just in fun. It was nothing.... We were all crunched up on the couch of a Winnebago and there's not a lot of room in those. I just reached over and stuck it by her legs. I wouldn't even say the camera was between her legs. It would have taken the front part of her knees.THE COURT: I understand what you said happened. And I'm asking you ... to explain that answer, why was it not a violation of the sexual harassment policy?MERCER: Well, I mean, I feel like if I had heard that from somebody else, it does not sound good. But I was there and, you know, I did it. I mean, I feel like it was wrong now. It was just — it was just a joke....THE COURT: Now, I want you to understand what I'm asking you. I want you to tell me why that wasn't a violation of the sexual harassment policy.... Again, do you understand the question I'm asking you?MERCER: I mean, yes, I do. I don't know how to answer it though.THE COURT: Well, I'll tell you what I'm writing down here [in my notes] is that you think that did not violate the company sexual harassment policy because it was a joke, it wasn't serious and it was just done in a fun way and therefore, it doesn't violate the policy. Is that your answer?.The Case of "Santa's Waffle House Polaroid Crotch Shot" Dist. Court, ND Texas 1998 MERCER: I'm sorry, sir. I don't know how else to answer it. I mean, it doesn't sound good."Larry Cannon, the Area Vice-President, was on this Santa's Sleigh ride and he witnessed this repulsive, demeaning conduct by Tim Mercer — and he also saw Therese Scribner's anger and humiliation. Other Waffle House managers and supervisors were on the Winnebago, too. However, no one reprimanded Mercer or apologized to Therese Scribner, and no one reported Mercer's misconduct to any superior

Christmaspussy - Dist. Court, D. Rhode Island 1991
The evidence establishes that an environment of sexual innuendo was prevalent at Techni-Craft during the time in question. Evidence of two particular incidents serves to prove the existence of such an environment. First, at the 1988 Christmas party, which was held on company premises, several employees exchanged gifts of a sexual nature. For example, Marsella gave two tee-shirts with sexually suggestive slogans. One shirt was introduced into evidence and marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 7. It says "All I want is a little peace and quiet. Give me a little piece and I'll be quiet." A photograph of the second shirt was introduced into evidence and marked as Defendant's Exhibit K3. It says "Big cats are dangerous but a little pussy won't hurt anyone!" Another photograph, marked as Defendant's Exhibit H4 shows Marsella holding a present she received of black panties.

Christmas Tree Car-Freshner Corp. v. SC Johnson & Son, Inc., Court of Appeals
Defendant S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., sells air fresheners under the trademark name "Glade." Johnson's "Glade" products include a line of air fresheners called "Plug-Ins," designed to be plugged into electrical outlets. Glade Plug-Ins have a plastic casing that holds a replaceable fragrance cartridge of scented gel. When the unit is plugged in, the electrical current warms the gel, causing release of the fragrance into the air. During the Christmas holiday season, Johnson sells a pine-tree-shaped, plug-in air freshener called "Holiday Pine Potpourri" under its Glade Plug-Ins trademark.
Car-Freshner brought this action against Johnson, claiming that Johnson's sale of its pine-tree-shaped plug-in freshener violates Car-Freshner's trademark rights in the pine-tree shape of its air fresheners and in its mark "Little Tree." Plaintiff claims: (1) trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1); (2) false designation of origin, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); (3) common law trademark infringement and unfair competition; and (4) trademark dilution under N.Y.Gen.Bus.Law § 368-d. Johnson, in addition to denying that its use of a pine-tree shape creates a likelihood of confusion, asserted the affirmative defense known in trademark law as fair use.

UNITED STATES of America v. CHRISTMAS (Cocaine)
222 F.3d 141 (2000) UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Joseph CHRISTMAS, a/k/a Jason Carter, Defendant-Appellant.No. 99-4631. United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Argued: May 5, 2000. Decided: August 2, 2000. 142*142 ARGUED: John A. Dusenberry, Jr., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Greensboro, NC, for Appellant. Lawrence Patrick Auld, United States Attorney's Office, Greensboro, NC, for Appellee. ON BRIEF: Louis C. Allen, III, Federal Public Defender, Greensboro, NC, for Appellant. Walter C. Holton, Jr., U.S. Attorney, Sandra J. Hairston, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Greensboro, NC, for Appellee.
Before WILKINSON, Chief Judge, NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge, and FRIEDMAN, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
Affirmed by published opinion. Chief Judge WILKINSON wrote the opinion, in which Judge NIEMEYER and Judge FRIEDMAN joined.
OPINION
WILKINSON, Chief Judge:
Joseph Christmas was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). The district court denied Christmas' motion 143*143 to suppress drugs and a firearm seized during his arrest. Christmas subsequently entered a conditional plea of guilty and was sentenced to eighty-eight months imprisonment. Christmas appeals the district court's suppression ruling, arguing that an unsolicited tip from a neighbor was not adequate grounds for a Terry stop. Because face-to-face encounters with informants are altogether different from anonymous tips and because the tip here furnished reasonable suspicion for the protective pat-down of defendant, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
