Perhaps you refer to the saying of Aristotle, in the Nichomachean Ethics: One swallow does not make a Summer; echoed in 1546 by John Haywood in Proverbs as One swallow maketh not summer, and again in 1577 in Northerbrooke's Treatise against Dancing as One swallow proveth not that summer is near. Cervantes repeats it in Don Quixote. Walt Kelly's Pogo remarked it depends on what you swallow.

Does inductive statistics and inferential statistics mean same?

Yes--these two terms mean essentially the same thing. There might be variation among practicing statisticians and researchers (perhaps geographically, with those in the U.S. preferring the phrase "inferential" and those in other countries perhaps more likely to use "inductive"). The goal of inferential statistics is to make a broader statement about a large group from a small subset of that group--and the phrase "inductive reasoning" refers to making a broader generalization (that is, an inference) from a series of observations. Thus, these two phrases refer to the same thing.


How long would it take 50000 honey bees to make 500 pounds of honey?

Presuming that you mean 500lbs of honey taken off a hive then it would probably represent 4 or 5 years honey production. But it could be more or less depending on the quality of summer weather and available forage for the bees.This is a difficult question for several other reasons:bees are eating honey themselves so some of what they had already made would be consumed in order for them to survive to make more the next year;50,000 bees represents a typical summer colony in a hive but the colony dwindles during the winter months when no honey production is possible;some sub-species of honey bees are more prolific than others.I hope that helps a bit. It is a complex topic so if you are interested please do take the time to read an introductory book for beekeeping - you will find it fascinating.


What must you do before you make a hypothesis?

Make observations


You roll a pair of dice until you get doubles What is the probability that you get doubles in three or fewer rolls?

! So first of all we need to calculate the probability of the base event, that is to get a pair when rolling 2 dice. This is quite simple and we can see it in 2 ways. a) We throw the first dice, regardless of what it comes up as, we have 1 in 6 chanses that the second dice matches it i.e probability = 1/6 b) There are 6*6 possible out comes when rolling two dice. Out of those we can get pair of 1s, pair of 2s , pair of 3s, pair of 4s, pair of 5s or pair of 6s. That is 6 pairs out of 36 total = 1/6 probability. Now about making a sequence of throws. The probability of us making the pair in the first throw is as the basic event = 1/6. If we make it we dont continue and have reached our goal! If we dont get a pair (proability 1-1/6 = 5/6) we continue and make our second throw. Again we have a 1/6 chanse, so in total that we make it in exactly the 2nd throws is 5/6 (miss)*1/6 (hit) = 5/36. If we dont make it , we continue again. Now our chance in making it in exactly the 3rd time is 5/6 (miss)*5/6 (miss again) *1/6 (hit) = 25/216. So the probability of making a pair in three or fewer rolls is the sum of the above, so 1/6 + 5/36 + 25/216 = 91/216 = 0.42 (roughly) Another way when you have established the probability of a single action to find how many repeats you need is to use the Binomial or Poisson distribution (look it up).

Who said one swallow does not make a spring?

"One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy." This is a paraphrase of a statement made by Aristotle. It is often rendered: "One swallow doth not a summer make." In the statement, swallow refers to the bird, and not what you do when you are eating something. In spring or early summer, swallows would return from their migration to spend the warm season in Greece. Aristotle is saying just because you saw a swallow, that doesn't mean you've experienced the whole summer. One summery day isn't the whole summer either. And one day of happiness doesn't mean you are entirely happy. It can be used in any number of ways. Say a friend has just ended a relationship. You might say, if you are sure he won't hurt you, "one swallow doth not a summer make", indicating that there are many relationships ahead. Or someone might do very well in one college course. You could say a bit sarcastically, "one swallow doth not a summer make", suggesting that there have to be many good grades before the person is educated.
