To critique this thinker, Clark Glymour introduced the “problem of old evidence.” (10[1])Frank Ramsey and Bruno de Finetti both used Dutch book (10[1])arguments to show that proponents of this thinker’s system (10[1]-5[1])must have a coherent set of beliefs. (-5[1])I. J. Good used this thinker’s work in his solution to the raven paradox, arguing that the observation of a white (10[1])shoe only slightly alters this school’s namesake “factor.” Proponents of this thinker’s system hold degrees (10[1])of belief called “credences” (10[1])and use the principle of (10[1])conditionalization (10[2])to update their priors to posteriors. (10[5])For 10 points, (10[1])a school of probability contrasted with frequentism is named (10[1])for (10[1])what (10[1])18th-century (10[2])statistician? ■END■ (10[5]0[3])
