| May 6, 2019 at 17:27 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @MatthewRock Have you had a little statistics schooling? Because it sounds like you're looking at the problem from a particular angle, and that is putting some of it in shadow. Perhaps you should expand into a whole answer, and make your position clear and/or work out all the angles. | |

| May 3, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @MatthewRock have you never heard of the "laws of large numbers"? What you just did was the same as challenging "dice roll an average value of 3.5" by rolling one die and going "see!? Not 3.5! Proof by contradiction!" But roll 10 dice and it starts to look like 3.5. Roll a thousand and it definitely looks like 3.50. Perhaps you do not realize just how many humans are on earth. Try it again with 150 million car drivers. You can say "well, it wasn't 100,000 as predicted, it was 100,045”, but that's just being pedantic. Yeah, it isn't exact but welcome to the laws of large numbers. | |
