Everything is a 50/50 chance. Either it happens or it doesn't.
>>
>>17013294
Well, the theory is either true or it isn't, so there's a 50/50 chance it's accurate.
>>
>Either it happens or it doesn't.
This doesn't establish the claim that there's a 50/50 chance of anything happening.

Chance of something happening with 50/50 chance is 50/50 and so on.
Which proves that chance of anything happening is 0.
Ergo nothing ever happens.

>a box with 99 blue balls and 1 red ball
>1 in 100 chance of drawing a red ball
>draw 100 times
>never get a red ball
Explain this then. If there really is a 1 in 100 chance then how is it possible to draw 100 times and never get a red ball?
>>
>>17014967
you drew one of the blue balls twice

Rick doesn't do it like that. He takes the cat out the back, skins it, and removes the tail to make it spherical and then puts it in a vacuum tube.
>>
>>17013294
If everything is a 50/50 chance, then everything has a 50/50 chance of being 50/50.
>if everyone is a 50/50 chance, then noone is.
>>
>>17013294
I think you're confusing chance and states. Something happening or refers to state ie it either exists or it don't, whereas the likelihood of something happening would be where you say it's 50/50 or whatever odds.
>>
>>17014716
I just rolled my die and I did get it
>>
>>17013294
Yes, but there are many steps between something happening, so the probability of something will be 50/50 of 50/50 of 50/50 of 50/50 of....

Everything in the universe has a 100% chance of happening, because everything that happened, happened.

To find the probabilities, we calculate the squared norm of the components of this new vector. First, we normalize the vector by dividing by its total norm [math]N = \sqrt{(1/\sqrt{3})^2 + (1/\sqrt{6})^2} = \sqrt{1/3 + 1/6} = \sqrt{1/2} = 1/\sqrt{2}[/math].

The normalized state is:
[math]|\psi_{normalized}\rangle = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} |GG\rangle + \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} |GS\rangle[/math]

The probability that we are in the [math]|GG\rangle[/math] state (meaning the other coin is also gold) is the square of the coefficient of the [math]|GG\rangle[/math] basis vector:
[math]P(\text{Other is Gold}) = \left| \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} \right|^2 = \frac{2}{3}[/math]

inner product spaces are the most elegant way to state the weighted sum of events
>>
>>17020852
[math]P(GG \mid \text{Gold}) = \frac{2/3}{1/2} = \frac{2}{3}[/math]

[math]P(GS \mid \text{Gold}) = \frac{1/6}{1/2} = \frac{1}{3}[/math]

>If there really is a 1 in 100 chance then how is it possible to draw 100 times and never get a red ball?
P{drawing 100 times and not getting a ball and getting it on the 101th try} =
[math]
(1-\frac{1}{100})^100 + \frac{1}{100} = 0.37
[/math]
Imagine trying to disprove a troll while showing everyone you don't even know how probability works LMAO

Suppose indeed things either happened or not, so 50/50:
P{drawing 100 times and not getting a ball and getting it on the 101th try} =
[math]
(1-\frac{1}{2})^100 + \frac{1}{2} = 0.50000000000000000000000000000079
[/math]

So in the real world, you'd have a 37% chance while in schizo's world it would be 50%. Not that much different, huh? You still wouldn't expect to get certainly get the red ball

There are two conditions: you draw a red ball or you don't. Your slip into endless gradualism is a fallacy.

It's 50% each time unless you're keeping the drawn balls outside the box
>>
>>17028814
You put the drawn ball back in after each draw so that it remains a 1/100 chance of drawing red for each of the 100 draws.

Everything is a 100/0 chance. Either it was gonna happen or it wasn't gonna happen.

Because you didn't take the 1/100 path that would give you a red ball. If you always pulled out the red ball then you would have a 100% probability to pull the red ball.

Not necessarily. If the hypothesis isn't true, then the actual chance of being real isn't 50%, it might be something else like 20% or 100%

You can easily test this theory by liquidating all of your assets and going to a casino for a few hours. You’ll either win or you won’t. Every hand / pull / spin / roll is 50/50 so the more you play you’re practically guaranteed to leave as a billionaire.

>play you’re practically guaranteed to leave as a billionaire.
you will leave the casino with money or you wont, 50/50 chance
statistics doesn't stop at the casino game

in any case im not taking those odds

According to your retarded theory, it's likely you accidentally turned yourself into a fag, since you said yourself that everything is a 50/50 possibility.

either everything is a 50/50 chance, or it's not so there's only a 25% chance
