@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju So far off topic? Bro you’ve been clutching at straws for like a day. You had to bring up irrational numbers at one point. None of this is saving face it’s just me trying to explain basic maths to you like you’re 5yo.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju The number of places where it’ll hit isn’t equal to the number of places where it’ll miss. If you wanna take this to its logical end you can say there are trillions upon trillions of places in the universe where the kid could miss and relatively few where it would hit. Not equal
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju They’re not the same thing. Unlike the piñata, the coin toss results will even out to 50/50. That’s why coin tosses are used in games as a fair way to give advantages. No one has ever said “let’s see if this kid hits a pinata to decide who gets the ball first.”
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju 😂😂😂 sure you could but that won’t happen every time. The probabilities will eventually even out. That is not the same for the pinata. It’s mathematical inevitability versus random chance.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju The difference with the coin toss is that the results will split 50/50. The piñata results are not guaranteed to split that way. They might. Or one kid might miss every time. Or another might hit it every time.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju It is skill, it depends on the strength of the swing and the handling of the bat. I don’t know how many more times I can say that just because something has two possible results doesn’t mean those two results are equally likely. A/B does not equal 50/50.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju The only time it would be 50/50 is if there were two kids and one was randomly chosen to hit it. Each kid had a 50% chance of being chosen.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju And for clarity I don’t know the odds of a seed sprouting an apple or carrot. That’s my entire point. You can’t comment on probabilities that you don’t know.
You’re saying there’s a 50% chance for things that don’t have a 50% chance, simply because they may or may not happen.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju But you can’t say that that is 50/50 unless you know the actual probabilities. You’re essentially using 50/50 as shorthand for “might happen, might not.” That doesn’t mean each outcome is 50% likely, which is what 50/50 means.
@TheGhostofThoth@ayeejuju This is not subjective. It has nothing to do with the “way you see things”. It’s objective math. Again, yes you may either win the lottery or you might not. The only time that would be a 50/50 scenario is if there are only two lottery tickets for sale.
