Ellsberg Paradox

The Ellsberg paradox is a problem in statistics that pertains to the use of random samples.

The paradox is named after mathematician, statistician and RAND Corporation consultant Daniel Ellsberg, who first proposed it in a 1969 paper.

Ellsberg’s paradox states that it is impossible to learn anything about the probability of an event from a random sample of size n if the event occurs with probability p.
