The Raven Paradox a.k.a Hempel's Paradox

@luvthyclassics

"The raven paradox, also known as Hempel's paradox or Hempel's ravens, is a paradox arising from the question of what constitutes evidence for a statement. Observing objects that are neither black nor ravens may formally increase the likelihood that all ravens are black – even though, intuitively, these observations are unrelated." Learn more here:

Had fun with this one! Always thought this Paradox was a bit strange, and I remember learning about it in statistics class a while back, so I gave it a shot! :)

ALSO!!! Do see Wendy’s (@wenbow) take on the shot too, as I was not the only one to attempt to capture The Raven Paradox!!!!
