I am not sure about the relative probability of the heat level, but I thought that this freebie looked sufficiently interesting to add to my kindle collection. I thought others might enjoy it or find it useful.

Khan Academy has some free information regarding this >
Definition: a theorem describing how the conditional probability of each of a set of possible causes for a given observed outcome can be computed from knowledge of the probability of each cause and the conditional probability of the outcome of each cause.
Can someone calculate the chance of a free book being voted hot because it is free?
splender may understand (and is excluded from above XD) but does everyone else really need a book on this topic. If yes, my admiration for hotukdeals members is immense :wink:

This Theorem could be used to solve whether or not Boz's book deals are hotter than others' ebook deals and whether there is big enough gap to lead to questions : When a deal is free, it is voted hot, but does this mean deal is hot because it is free? What's the probability a deal is hot given that it is free? What's the probability a deal is hot given that it is free and posted by Boz?

But what if Boz is a false-positive? Would it not skew the results?

Nice theorem, many uses, such as it can be used to analyse numerically the discriminatory enforcement behaviour against one group of people over another group.
