Jared had worked so hard during the first class today, that for Statistics we watched a TED talk given by Seth Shostak, the director of SETI. In the talk, Dr. Shostak recounted a bit on the history of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and then touched on the probabilities of finding it. After the video, Jared and I discussed the Drake equation again, and Jared understood how the whole equation is based on subjective probabilities. We discussed the subject in terms of all three approaches to calculating a probability in light of their pros and cons.
