The goal of this game is to get your opponents life points down to 0 before he gets yours down to 0. You take turns hitting each other until one persons health is at 0.
The variables are:
Attack (accuracy of hitting instead of missing)
Strength (how high you can hit)
Defense (determines...
I'll explain the problem in a nutshell.
2% of brand X tires are faulty, 98% aren't.
If you take a car with 4 brand X tires, what is the probability that 3 of them are faulty?
My work: (.02^3 * .98) * 4 = 0.003136%
However, my teacher thought it was just: (.02^3 * .98) = 0.000784%
I believe...
The way you interpret the problem is probably different from the professors.
If P = .99, then over time it WILL diverge into a .99 success rate. If you have a million euros to start with, then the chance of you going back to 0 is virtually 0. Definitely not guaranteed.
I believe the professor...
Not exactly relevant, but still entertaining to read :p Thanks for the idea. I'm going to try that on a forum in the near future.
Also thanks for the input Chiro.
You're about to flip a quarter while your friend guesses which side will come up. You agree to switch turns after one incorrect guess each.
He gets 2 in a row right before guessing wrong, and now it's your turn.
You incorrectly guess the outcome of the first flip he does, and now it's his turn...
