Hey @Vocaloid am I dumb or does the radius not matter.

Shadow:

Vocaloid:

Keep in mind it says "each slice has area 1/6" not "each slice has area 1/6 of the whole circle" so the area has to be *exactly* 1, which means there's only one possibility for the radius

Vocaloid:

I think it's kind of a dumb example but it's just showing that probability distributions have to add to 1

Vocaloid:

like, the area has to equal the number "1" not "1 whole"

Shadow:

Yeah he literally has 'represents 1/6' followed by 'has area 1/6.' Like I thought it could be an abstract 1/6 of the circle. So \[A = \pi r^2\] \[1 = p ir^2\] \[r = \sqrt \frac{ 1 }{ \pi } \rightarrow 0.564\]

Vocaloid:

yeah that's what i got too

Shadow:

coolio, ty <3
