According to Ralph Hartly, the amount of uncertainty associated with a set of alternatives is measured bt the amount of information needed to remove the uncertainty. However, Claude Shannon takes it even further and finds about what the symbol is and how many yes-no questions need to be asked to establish what the symbol turns out to be.

Data Analysis
Data analysis is a great tool dealing with statistics and probability. It can help us better understand the world that we live in. For example, since we know when the temperature changes drastically the probability of having a tornado goes up we can better inform people of dangers that are coming.
In lab 9, I learned all about data analysis and linear regression. Linear regression allows one to plot a best fit line showing trends in data. This enables people to understand the specific data being analyzed.
