Nerth did what?
Is Nerth right?
well those arent probabilities
so its not 100% correct, but it shows he gets it
Annika is beautiful
watch stream
i need to make sure thats right though
.5 -.25 - .125
anika is ok
using geometric series, we get 0.5 / ( 1 - 1/8) = 4/7 for the first person
2/7 for second
1/7 for third
Why use a geometric series? I’ve never heard of this before.
because the game could in theory go on forever
the annika i know is deep blue
Ohhhhh
Why not use the product rule?
not math nerd lets hit <#634422648063131668> <:dab:395562678153904128>
person A will get a 0.5 chance of winning, then he gets a 2nd chance ONLY IF all other plays got tails AND he also got tails... so each turn his chance of winning goes down by 1/8
Is the product assuming the order of winning and losing?
I didn't use a geometric series I just thought about what would happen <:autistic:435640902224969729>
autism
i will play elsa skin in fortnite who is mad
so his chance of winning is 1/2 + 1/8 * 1/2 + (1/8)^2 * 1/2 + ...
yeah geometric series is the canonical way
but if you consider relative probabilities and know probs add up to 1
its easy
LOL
That’s actually so cool.
@ALternativeToLife why are you poopoo now?
i like to get answers 2 or more different ways though
this stream is funny
to show i really understand a concept
i am always poopoo
yeah
if poopoo is taken from me i will complain
so you do use the product rule Helton, but you then need to use it and apply the geometric series formula
