Re: Probability of winning 9 straight coinflips

Drew Da Donk, Are you sure??? I always assumed that if there was a chance in a 100 to win (or loose) I could be the one! lol [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I must re evaluate your statement, as the negative impact of the variance of the negative axis recordulates the inverse, you get your answer.... think about it |

Re: Probability of winning 9 straight coinflips
Drew Da Donk,
Thanks for your clarification. You must be right [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The point I was trying to make is, that often, people will say there is only 1 chance in a million... therefore it must be rigged [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And I know that is wrong. Anyway, enough wine and calvados for the night... time to call it a day... Sorry for the uncalled for comment, and keep on enjoying [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

It's also possible the OP meant he was a 55-45 favorite on each hand. In that case, it was just 1/217 or so that this would happen. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
