GAINING WEIGHT... posted:Yes. The second case seems more likely because you have 2 options per die, but you have to subtract out the cases where you get 2 sixes or 2 ones, which is not the outcome you're looking for. Both are 1/36. answer A: can we please play poker some time. answer B: https://www.geogebra.org/m/UsoH4eNl

I mean, at some point you might as well chuck the hotel metaphor and just talk about the underlying mathematics - the natural numbers plus the natural numbers still map one-one onto the naturals, while the reals don't.

wateroverfire posted:But I'm not following you here. Each flip is an independent event, right? If someone shows you that one flip was T, the probability that the other flip is H is still 50%. That's what it means for events to be independent of one another. HH HT TH TT I show you a T. Viable options left: HT TH TT in two of those options the other coin is H, in one of them the other coin is T. 67%.

alright honestly this has been explained over and over in the thread, but the example here is so simple that you can actually just do it yourself. take 2 coins out of your wallet, throw them around the house like 20 times. if they land HH, ignore that throw. then make a list of how often TT comes up vs how often TH (or HT) comes up.
