OpenStudy (laurena):

@3

OpenStudy (laurena):

@3mar

OpenStudy (laurena):

Could it be like i am certain that one day i will die xD

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (laurena):

ohk xD

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (laurena):

SO could i say there is a 100% chance i will die?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (laurena):

Hey @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

How could I help you?

OpenStudy (laurena):

And then do i need to think of something that will never happen?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (laurena):

Ummmmm.....What about.....there is a 100% chance i will never fly?

OpenStudy (laurena):

Does that work?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Not really!

OpenStudy (laurena):

there is a 100% chance i will never fly there is a 100% chance i will die So is that what i must write for my answer? ^^^

OpenStudy (3mar):

You can say: that you may loose or gain money in a trade!

OpenStudy (laurena):

So what would i write for my answer?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What are the probabilities for each event? there is a 100% chance i will die = 1.00 probability

OpenStudy (laurena):

Okay

OpenStudy (laurena):

I cant think of anything that there is no chance of xD

OpenStudy (laurena):

What about there is a 100% chance off me never seeing my great great great grandmother xD

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

how about "not dying"? = 0% = probability = 0

OpenStudy (laurena):

Okay xD

OpenStudy (laurena):

So would i chance say: There is a 0% chance of me not dying = 0 probability ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

"I cant think of anything that there is no chance of" Why sister? It is easy You will never touch the sun! It is impossible to reverse the time! No one can live forever (unless in the paradise in the hereafter for believers). need more?

OpenStudy (laurena):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

OpenStudy (laurena):

?

OpenStudy (laurena):

This is my answer for this question by the way: There is a 100% chance i will die = 1.00 probability There is a 0% chance of me not dying = 0 probability

OpenStudy (laurena):

Going to open a new thread............................................

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

There is a 100% chance i will die = 1.00 probability There is a 0% chance of me not dying = 0 probability ___________________________________________________ add up to 1.00

OpenStudy (laurena):

What?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

event + (not event) = 1.00

OpenStudy (laurena):

Do i need to add that to my answer?

OpenStudy (laurena):

I dont understand what u are telling me?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
