Re: probability question (pertaining to SM+P)
Hiya Pokerjoker,
There are quite a few ambiguities with your question, but the easy answer would be:
if there were no one event(sun rising) more likely that the other (sun not rising), then the chance of it rising tommorow is 1 in 2. However the chance of having a sequence of a billion rises followed by another is 1 in ((1 billion + 1)!). My suspicion here is that one event is more likely than the other.
