a mistake encountered in calculating the probability of at least one of several events occurring, when the events are not mutually exclusive. In this case, the addition rule does not apply.
The process by which some courses may be used to meet both General Education requirements and requirements for a major or minor. However, the credits may not be counted twice. If, for instance, one course is used to meet requirements in General Education and the major, the credits may only be counted in one of those areas.
In a resource flow analysis, double counting can best be illustrated by using paper as an example. Paper will go through many stages of production until it becomes the final product we might read (a book) or use (office paper). Economic data can track these sequential processes and report the financial value of each stage. However, it is still the same paper, and for resource accounting purposes this presents a risk of double counting. For the purposes of this study, only the final product has been counted, all intermediate products have been removed.
In order not to exaggerate human demand on nature, Footprint Accounting avoids double counting, or counting the same Footprint area more than once. Double counting errors may arise in several ways. For example, when adding the Ecological Footprints in a production chain (e.g., wheat farm, flour mill, and bakery), the study must count the cropland for growing wheat only once to avoid double counting. Similar, but smaller, errors can arise in analyzing a production chain because the end product is used in produce the raw materials used to make the end product (e.g. steel is used in trucks and earthmoving equipment used to mine the iron or that is made into the steel). Finally, when land serves two purposes (e.g. a farmer harvests a crop of winter wheat and then plants corn to harvest in the fall), it is important not to count the land area twice. Instead, the yield factor is adjusted to reflect the higher bioproductivity of the double-cropped land.
Classes will double count toward your GE and your major if they are: From Category A. From Category B.1a. if your major is in the Department of Biological Sciences. From Category B.2 if your major is in the Department of Mathematics. From Category C.1 and C.3 if your major is in the Department of Art of Music. From Category D.1.a. if your major is in the Department of History. From Category D.1.b. if your major is in the Department of Political Science. Interdisciplinary courses in any category. You may apply the above courses to your GE requirements even if they are in the Department of your major. If the required course for your major is held by a department other than your major and fits into the GE requirements.
In combinatorics, double counting, also called two-way counting, is a proof technique that involves counting the size of a set in two ways in order to show that the two resulting expressions for the size of the set are equal. We describe a finite set X from two perspectives leading to two distinct expressions. Through the two perspectives, we demonstrate that each is to equal |X|.
Double-counting refers to a conceptual problem in social accounting practice, when the attempt is made to estimate the new value added by Gross Output, or the value of total investments.
Double counting is a fallacy in which, when counting events or occurrences in probability or in other areas, a solution counts events two or more times, resulting in an erroneous number of events or occurrences which is higher than the true result.
