How likely is it to roll 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 in a row ?

>> No.9827223

>>9827143
0% since none of those numbers can roll at all

>> No.9827242

>>9827143
Depends on the precision I guess, if it only has 4 significant digits, we're looking at a 1/1000 probability of each single digit, so (10^-3)^8 = 10^-24

>>9827242
isn't it 10 000?

>> No.9827280

>>9827270
Oh, yeah it is. So 10^-32 instead.

>> No.9827283

1/10,000^8 = 10^-11
So, 10^-9 %

>> No.9827290

>>9827283
Wait I added, so 10^-24 = 10^-22 %

10,000 = 10^3 tho

>> No.9827302

>>9827295
Yes, and (10^-3)^8 = 10^-24
That's basic probability theory to get the ^8, combined with basic exponential algebra.

10^3 = 10*10*10 = 100*10 = 1000
