1. What are the differences between the two probability rules known as, �Connection of exclusive or incompatible events� and �Dependent Events�, can you think of an example for each rule? (pg. 168)

2. Venn states, �Inference however are drawn, and practically, in most cases, quite justly drawn�, based on how inferences are presented in conjunction with the idea of probabilities without conditions, do you believe inferences can be accurate? (pg. 172)

3. What are the differences between direct probability and indirect probability, can you think of an example for each? (pg. 180)

4. Venn talks about the impact time has on judgment. Do you think you are more or less likely to make a decision if you have a related experience in your childhood? (pg. 191/192)

5. Venn proposes a possible experiment on the infant mind. Do you think this is a viable path to pursue to attempt to understand induction? (pg. 200/201)

6. What exactly is induction compared to probability?
