>>522624270The correct answer is that chance doesn't actually exist and that the eventual outcome always had a 100% chance to happen.
>>522624270This anon >>522624660 is right.It was predetermined by the fates before the events had happened.
>>522624660That's possible but I don't think that applies to the meaning of chance or probability here. 50% probability here means if you were to draw 5 names out of the hat 1,000 times the two boys would end up on the same team very close to 500 times. And regardless of philosophical questions knowledge about probability, statistics and combinatorics is very applicable to the real world, and is very much used against you, and is very much a liberating thing to learn about precisely because ignorance of how it works is used to control you.

>>522624270It either happens or it doesn't. That's 50/50
>>522624270Well if the black boy gets on the team, then there will only be 9 names left and 4 spots, so 4/9.
