Is Who wants to be a millionaire just a game of luck?

I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happen to know the answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game

Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.

For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:

Question 1: 33.34%

Question 2: 33.34%

Question 3: 33.34%

Question 4: 95% <--- ask-the-audience

Question 5: 33.34%

Question 6: 33.34%

Question 7: 33.34%

Question 8: 33.34%

Question 9: 95% <--- phone-a-friend

Question 10: 33.34%

Question 11: 33.34%

Question 12: 33.34%

Question 13: 33.34%

Question 14: 33.34%

Question 15: 100% <--- 50-50

Total: 690.08%

Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%

So basically, it's more a less a game of chance, but more than half the people on the show will lose, so it's not very fair. That show is making tons of money off of people.

Rather than banning OP, the mods should ban the people replying to these threads. Without a response from /sci/, these threads become uninteresting to post, solving the problem (or they keep posting these, but they don't get bumped because no one replies for fear of the banhammer).

This is an unsolved problem in measure theoretic probability theory. It does not deserve "SAGE".

If we have a manifold <span class="math">M[/spoiler] equipped with smooth structure that is also a measure space, suppose <span class="math">v[/spoiler] and <span class="math">w[/spoiler] are sections of the tangent bundle <span class="math">TM[/spoiler]. There is a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form on <span class="math">S[/spoiler] (some subspace of <span class="math">M[/spoiler]) that looks like
<div class="math">g(v,w)_s := E_s(v(\mathrm{log}~s)w(\mathrm{log}~s))</div>
This is then the 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' measure space. We have a function on the manifold which looks like <span class="math">x\mapsto v(\mathrm{log}~s)_x w(\mathrm{log}~s)_x[/spoiler]. We are trying to find an <span class="math">E_s[/spoiler] from some measure <span class="math">s\in S[/spoiler] derived from this function.

From >>4960496 ,
We also know that the Radon–Nikodym derivative on <span class="math">M[/spoiler] will produce values of 33.34% for individual questions, and 46.00% when taken over the whole 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' measure space.

I'm really confused how you could have a 1 out of 3 chance when there are 4 total answers. Shouldn't this be a 1 out of 4 random chance, or 25%? Will someone explain the reasoning behind "1/3" when you have a, b, c, or d?

That is using circular logic. You're assuming that there's a 50% chance that one knows the answer. This is unsubstantiated.

just take a look at your own logic for a second. what you're saying implies that if there were two correct answers and two incorrect answers (2/2 = 1), you'd have a 100% chance of guessing correctly.

Its 25%
