On the composition of elementary errors

HCHarald Cramér

Key Points

  • The aim is to define a quantity known as a variable in probability theory and its relation to error analysis.
  • Introduces the concept of a variable z in the context of probability.
  • Defines V(t) as the probability function of z.
  • Describes how V(t) relates to the probabilities of certain values of z.
  • V(t) correlates to the probability that z is less than t.
  • Incorporates half the probability that z equals t to refine the probability function.

Abstract

Abstract 1. By a variable in the sense of the Theory of Probability we mean a quantity z, which may assume certain real values with certain probahilities. We shall call V(t) the probability function of z if, for every real t, V(t) is equal to the probabiliby that z has a value < t, increased by half the probability that z has exactly the value t.
