@Scienceofsport@Adam_McM Surely it’s precisely because of all those factors that slightly less concentration due to sleep disturbance could have become a problem? It wasn’t going to cause him to ride into a fence! In what circumstances would you have agreed the disrupted sleep may have been significant?
@mr_james_c@ClaireCoutinho So why did he say the bit about white faces, especially when he didn’t give any other observations that would explain his claim about integration? His qualifying point becomes like saying “with all due respect” before saying something blatantly disrespectful.
@ChrisMid If you’re going to compare numbers you always need those numbers to be in context. “Fewer arrests” sounds significant but if it was fewer at a larger protest it becomes more significant whereas fewer at a dramatically smaller protest might severely undermine your argument.
@GadSaad A town has 200 black and 800 white people.
Say each person has 1 in 10000 chance of killing each other person in a year, all kills RANDOM.
Expected no. cases black kills white is 200*800/10000 = 16
Expected w kills b is 800*200/10000 = 16
Your use of % popn is completely bogus!
Join us for #beingmathematical this Thursday at 8pm (BST).
We invite you to work on the following task, and try to *record what you did whilst working on it, particularly if/when stuck*
On Thursday we'll discuss what we might learn from this about solving mathematical problems
