Your teacher should be fired.

Chances are 50/50 that they will be.

Or are they?

Es ist Zeit für einige Gefahr-pay

Another failed attempt at stats and life, OP.

Sad day for statisticians...

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

And then you get to the "bag of marbles" problems.
If you have a bag with 5 blue, 4 red, and 2 yellow marbles, surely the odds of you pulling out a yellow marble are less than 50-50, because of the other marbles, which account for more than half the total.
Probability is "expected outcomes/ total possible outcomes", not "it will/it won't".

I'm learning it in school right now, and it's so useless, it's a math invented solely for math, it has no real life application, except for maybe saying like a percent of something.
Clearly you aren't learning it very well >_>

Please do not send me group invites.

The possibility of any event's outcome is 50/50.
The possibility of said event occurring is different.

~Thread-killer~

The possibility of the OP being 12 is approx. 88.24%

Don't worry, odds are even that Foman and I will end up being jerks to each other.

So 50/50?

Spread the love...

Well OP, you could be wrong...I mean, the chances are 50/50 right?

Right now there is a 50/50 chance that an asteroid will smash through my roof.

it will either happen. or it wont.

its like heads or tails.

there is also a 50/50 chance that a unicorn will appear in my kitchen in the next 5 minutes.

It will either happen. or it wont.
How does it feel to be so stupid?

50/50=1=100%

Right? So something will or will not happen, there isn't anything other than those 2 options. So wouldn't any event have a 100% chance of happening or not happening?


OmerGEEERD ming=blown

Of course! There is a 100% chance that something will happen.

Carpe Diem - Carpe Coffee

Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Using your logic, you have a 50% chance of dying every day since you're either alive or you're dead, you can't be both or in some between state. By those odds you should have been dead looong ago considering how many days you've been alive.

Your chance of dying on a specific day is much lower than 50% despite setting the two boundary conditions as being either alive or dead. Not every outcome for a situation has an equal probability weight. This is where statistics and probability is useful.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.
