Intuitively one would answer .5, .75 and .875 respectively. I don't know where you got your numbers from, sorry.

However, if you look closely, you may see that the first question is identical to the second if you imagine that the "square generator" is just the "line generator" being squared. ie imagine that one line generator actually behaves normally but produces for identical line at once in the pattern of a square.

Getting it?

I learned this in a third year honours mathematical statistics class. It's quasi-philosophical but in no way "middle school". The professor left us hanging as to what his thoughts are. It's not a question of interpretation either.

To skip all the bullshit, we were debating wether the answer is .5 for all three scenarios or .5, .75, or .875 respectively.

Feathers got ruffled last time, probs why I got banned. But it really is a very interesting question.

That really rustled my jimmies but this is for continued discussion of the problem in pic.

oh /sci/ you and you egos, how sad...

It comes from the denseness of the real numbers.

it would be closer to .5, .75, and .875 if the squaring/cubing of the lines "missed" some values of area/volume -- But it does NOT miss any values.

I think that is the best answer, imo. But it's an official paradox of probability theory as to why it isn't .5, .75, .875 respectively.

haha jokes on you it's not solvable

it's also okay to admit that you are not smart enough to figure it out and attempting to figure it out would encourage the growth of brain tumors

hurry up /sci/, don't let /sp/ beat you

if you have a random line generator that produces lines uniformly between 0 and 1 units in length, then what is the probability of any given line produced having length greater than 0.5?

if you have a random square generator that produces squares uniformly between 0 and 1 units of area, then what is the probability of any given square produced having area greater than 0.25?

if you have a random cube generator that produces cubes uniformly between 0 and 1 units of volume, then what is the probability of any given cube produced having volume greater than 0.125?

Take your autism somewhere else please.

Are you retarded? You need calculus for physics, not physics for calculus.

OP you should stray away from here, these people are fucking retarded.

No, nobody has ever wondered if every number can be expressed as the ratio between two integers. EVER. You are certainly the first. You are a very special butterfly.

Everything you need to know about trigonometry is also covered in the first chapter of any introductory calculus book such as stewart's calculus and thomas' calculus.

The awesome thing about those 1500 page calculus books is that they are self contained. You need only the first chapter. I'm just repeating myself to be clear.

If there was an award for stupidest idea ever posted on /sci/, i'd nominate you bro.

there are no prerequisites.

everything you need to know is covered in the first chapter of any calculus book. For example;

a<b => a+c<b+c
a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c

looks like /sci/ is full of business majors

doesn't specify wether it's 2 or one sided ==========> 2 sided!

t test with df = 19
two sided test 95% so 2.5% on each side

and how is that even a question?

just go to mint.ca and max out your credit card bro.
