What is the secret to accurately guessing how many marbles a jar holds?

Marbles are considered spheres, and there's a mathematical rule to define the random close-packing of spheres in a confined space. Basically:
- Calculate the volume of a single marble (using the formula Vmarble= 4/3πr3 to determine the volume of the sphere from its radius, which is half its diameter).
- Then calculate the internal volume of the jar, using the formula Vjar= πr2h for calculating the volume of a cylinder.
- Divide Vjar by Vmarble; then multiply by .6, as this represents how much of the space inside the jar is (probably) filled with marbles. In other words, N ≈ .6 (Vjar/Vmarble). (Obviously, N then needs to be rounded off to the nearest whole number.)
Or if this is too much work, you can try counting the number of marbles at the bottom (or at the top), and then counting the number of rows there appear to be. Either way, good luck.

An insurance policy actually protects the policyholder's financial interests in the insured item, not the insured item itself. The insurer holds the balance of power in the creation of an insurance policy. Ambiguities in contracts of adhesion often favor the insured. The concept of utmost good faith only applies to the insured.
Why is naive Bayesian classification called naive?
Naive Bayesian Classification (NBC) isreferred to as naive since it makes tha assumption that each of its inputs are independent of each other, an assumption which rarely holds true, and hence the word naive. Research has however shown that even though this assumption is often false, the technique still performs well, and hence NBC is seen as a simple yet powerful tool in the world of classification and machine learning.
Two dices are thrown simultaneously what is the probability that both the dices have even number?
The sample space is 62 or 36. Take the 1st die rolled. It must start with a 2, 4, or 6. Likewise, the 2nd die rolled must be a 2, 4, or 6. So, with the 1st die at 2, the 2nd die could be 2, 4, or 6. The same holds true for the 4 & 6. There are 9 possible rolls then that are even & even. The probability is 9/36 or 1/4.
Difference between data mining and database?
Data mining is the process of extracting hidden patterns from data. As more data is gathered, with the amount of data doubling every three years,[1] data mining is becoming an increasingly important tool to transform this data into information. It is commonly used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection and scientific discovery. Database is just the system that holds all the data. Or: "A database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mining
