[extropy-chat] extropy-chat] three coins in a fountain

[Marc Geddes]

Wow, you guys are way too clever in the ways of Bayesian probability theory
for me! ;)
 I shall none the less post a couple of very simple problems, which, I'm
sure, with your august and vastly superior knowledge of Bayes, you'll all
have no problem in answering.
 Marc's problem set:
 Using the correct Bayesian extension's for mathematical reasoning, please
tell me the likelihood probabilities for each of these pieces of evidence
that the Riemann hypotheses is true:
 (1) Hardy's 1914 result that all infinitely many zeros lie on the critical
line.

(2) The RH implies the PNT, which is known to be true.
 (3) "Denjoy's probabilistic interpretation"—that is, the coin-tossing
argument
 (4) Another 1914 theorem by Landau and Harald Bohr, stating that most
zeros—all but an infinitesimal proportion—are very close to the critical
line.
 (5) The algebraic results of Artin, Weil, and Deligne
 Now, combining the probabilities for 1-5, please tell me the correct
Bayesian probability that the Riemann hypotheses is true.
 Thanks!
