Rolling a die repeatedly (you can't just add percentages) |
2007-10-04 |
|
From Howard: If my son has a 16.66% chance of rolling a particular number on a dice,
and he rolls for it 6 times, he knows (from experience) that his
odds of getting at least 1 right are not 100% (16.66% +16.66%+16.66% etc).
He asked me if there was an equation that would give him the correct
percentage chance of success when trying X times for a Y% chance
of something. Answered by Victoria West. |
