When scientists spot an asteroid whose trajectory might take it close to Earth, they monitor it frequently and calculate the probability that it might collide with our planet.

• Show CDF: puts the cumulative probability (CDF) on the Y Axis • Use This Variable on the Y Axis: puts the currently selected variable on the Y Axis. • The table on the lower left part of the screen ...

This theory is extended to the c-sample case and to the case where the set of cdf's in question depends on N. These extensions are used to estimate the probability of a large deviation of those ...

At the time of the announcement in January, the asteroid’s impact probability was reported to exceed 1%. The impact probability describes how likely a hazardous asteroid is to hit Earth.
