/sci/ - Science & Math

Successful trolls are successful. I'm out of this thread.

>>2088416

By now I have a PhD in that shit.

>>2088374

Okay...I'm at my wit's end here.

Listen up fellas. I scored a 127.5 on the AMC 12, I have a degree in mathematics and physics from MIT and I'm currently in grad school pursuing my masters.

I fucking know probability, OP is the greatest troll whoever lived, and watch the videos I posted to understand why you're so very stupid.

Does the concept of independent events mean anything to you? I mean....gaaah!

>>2088365

Watch those two videos anon. Public high school is obviously failing you

>>2088363

Actually this one too.

It's okay anon. Probability is hard. Glad you stopped trip coding though. It was honestly insulting me quite a bit.

>>2088337

Same probability.

>>2088335

Quick question. How old are you?

>>2088321

Order doesn't matter.

The question only asks the probability of HHT v TTT or HHH.

Probability of HHT = probability of HTH = probability of THH = 1/8

I....are we all being hella fucking trolled?

>>2088319

Since when have you heard about little kids studying two dimensional cones?

>>2088309

I understand your argument, but that isn't what the question is asking. See if you can find out why.

>>2088298

Good luck on your probability test champ!

>>2088284

The definition of a cone is a three dimensional solid object; an open cone involves mathematics beyond the scope of that studied at the elementary level.

Might you be 12 years old?

Each side of the coin has a 50% chance of occurring. Each flip is an independent event from the others.

Therefore, the specific combinations of heads and tails are irrelevant when trying to calculate the probability each combination has of realizing itself.

In every trial, you have three flips, which means:

(.5)^3 = 0.125, or a 12.5% chance of happening.

Your graph relates to specific results and thus asks a different question, which in turn elicits a different answer.

The term edge is defined differently depending which field you're studying, etc. In the scientific community though, we generally agree that a cone has one edge.

The reason that the curriculum teaches that cones do not have any edges is because it's probably designed to teach children the difference between circular edges and straight/orthogonal ones.

Basic concepts such as straight, curved, symmetric, etc are the most vital concepts to learn at that age (although they should be learning more) so that's probably why it's taught that way. Just an educated guess tho.

>>2088243

Stop

>>2088225

Please, PLEASE be trolling

>>2088213

Unless you're trolling, you do not deserve to be trip fagging on /sci/

All have equal chance, so they're all right. Now go fuck yourself.

>>2086924

get the fuck out of /sci/

>>2058147

same brother

mfw learning

nice

haha...oh wow. Shouldn't you belong in /b/ young man?
