The second estimate is the estimate produced by [Laplace's law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_succession)---an instance of Bayesian reasoning given an ignorance prior---given one "success" (a dog biting a human) and \(n\) "failures" (a dog not biting a human).

Note that the prior degree of credence to assign to this second hypothesis *isn't* governed by Bayes' law, and so one can't do a straightforward Bayesian update.
But now, with more and more encounters, the probability assigned by the second hypothesis, will be as \(\frac{2}{n+2}\), where \(n\) is the number of times the man interacts with a dog. But this goes down very slowly: But now, with more and more encounters, the probability assigned by the second hypothesis, will be as \(\frac{2}{n+2}\), where \(n\) is the number of times the man interacts with a dog.
