The 50/50™

[The Duck Hammer]

80,000 people in a stadium. one ticket will be pulled to win a full sized pick up truck (make and model are irrelevant to the example). Odds are most certainly not 50/50 for every single person there, because the odds do not change once the winning ticket is pulled. If it were 50/50, 40,000 people would win trucks and that is not possible when only 1 is available

1 ticket pulled, 1 in your hand. Either it is your ticket or it isn't. How is that not 50/50. Only 2 possible outcomes.

When the winning ticket is drawn, what are the only two possible outcomes for you with your ticket? And when there are two possible choices, what are the odds?

You rolled too easily on that one, clearly this isn't the real tomkat

It's ok if he wants to let it go. It usually works better that way, after folks have time to digest it, and realize that there really is no way around it, that it's accurate no matter what. An enlightenment, if you will. The Dalai Lama would be proud.

50/50 chance you are correct TK.

[flight control]

I was about to ask about situations with more than two possible outcomes and before hitting submit, I thought about it and 50/50 still applies. This thing is unstoppable.

If the glove fits, you must aquit!

AT, you are destroying them over at DHC. Inda can't seem to grasp the simple idea behind it. Laughing at all the dumb dumbs over there.

What the hell happened there? Someone try to repair a hole with underwear and a can of builder's foam?

[3geese4me]

Assa and go get the bird are handing everyone their asses over there. It's quite funny how people are over analyzing such a simple thing.

[assateague]

They really are getting wrapped around the axle over such a simple thing.

You really should get some t-shirts made with just "50/50" on it. Imagine the conversation that would ensue because of people's curiosity about it.

[assateague]

Excellent idea. I'll sell them all at cost to you guys. The more I think about this, the better it sounds.

[3geese4me]

Excellent idea.

I'll put one on my work t-shirt. Nothing like discussing probabilities with an M4 and a short temper haha.
