Have you taken a course in graph theory? It comes up in proofs where you need to do induction on the number of edges, for instance. By empty graph, I'm assume you mean: any number of vertices, and no edges.

>>7948407
It's meant by the graph on zero vertices, which is occasionally an annoyance as a base case.

Is zero a pointless concept?

>>7948180
I prefer unmathematical physics actually. Sure it may never give us a means to make portals but at least we can discuss the philosophy of them.

shit, clarification

A player rolls a number of 10-sided dice, any die that comes up *EQUAL TO OR* higher than the "target number" is a success

Also, can anyone explain to me the (11-TN)/10^Number of Dice? I understand that (11-TN)/10 gives the probabilities of the 10 sided dice, but the exponent is all thats required to calculate extra dice?

What I believe you are looking for with

1-(Successes_required * (((11-Target Number)/10)^Dicepool))

Is described by pic related formula, the 'binomial distribution' for a discrete random variable. This describes, in your dice roll example, the probability of x successes out of n rolls, where p is the probability of a success and q is the probability of failure, which is 1-p.

For this question, "how likely is it that B loses", we first need to look at the probability of A getting successes and B getting failures.


"If player A rolls eight dice against TN 7, and player B rolls eight dice against a TN 9, how likely is it that B loses? Similarly, if B rolls against TN 5, how likely is it that he succeeds?"

[math]p_{A}(1)={1\choose1}(\frac{4}{10})^1(\frac{6}{10})^{1-1}=\frac{4}{10}[/math]


[math]p_{B}(0)={1\choose0}(\frac{2}{10})^0(\frac{8}{10})^{1-0}=\frac{8}{10}[/math]

To spare you the long answer for 'why', because the two rolls are independent events, the probability of both occurring is given by [math]P_{A}(x)\cdot P_{B}(x)=\frac{4}{10}\cdot\frac{8}{10}[/math].

This is your player A succeeding TN 7 and player B failing TN9. The B succeeding TN 5 is given in the same manner.

You probably noticed how unnecessary some of the terms of this formula are, and that's because we're dealing with single roll against single roll. In the event of

"Player A gets 2 successes over the target number, then B needs to get at least 2 or more successes on their end."

you need those seemingly unnecessary terms.

Here's a non-shit picture.

you can't
just cheat

instead of memorising everything try to understand everything, build you knowledge up from the ground so when you lose the roof the house is still standing.

math is useless bro
study art

Gold based life
Sodium based life
Plutonium based life
Potassium based life

They'll be heavier, that's it. Also nothing stops Si life to use both Si and C.

>>7947547
>Gold based life
>Sodium based life
>Plutonium based life
>Potassium based life

Are those actually possible?

>They'll be heavier, that's it.

What about the lack of metabolism? The silicate they breathe out?

That's it senpai.

To fuck with you further, now imagine what color an object would be in complete darkness. Now it has NO light to reflect, so what does it look like? Who knows.

This us fucjed up.

But I can't help but imaginr it would be like grey/monochrome or something

WHY WHY WHY

>>7946768
what an idiotic question

you're an imbecile

Why shouldn't we ? We create humanoid robots to be functioning members of the society, they do everything for us. They must have rights just like us.

>>7946768

Should AI's give equal rights to humans?
As more intelligent, self upgrading, immortal beings, AI's will stand higher than us in any aspect. They will keep us in reservations safe from ourselfs.

wow son

you did it

collect your nobel and your fields medal

we are proud of you.

we truly live in an amazing time... anyone got more rolling paper ?

It demonstrates that very simple rules or initial states can lead to or develop into very complex structures, even structures that self-replicate.

Potentiations of likelihoods.

>>7946532

But is it useful for anything?
Can we use it in the real world?

Everything is a meme. That's the joke.

>>7946184
A joke is a linguistic construction designed to invoke euphoria and a laugh response in humans.

A meme is a widely recognized stock cultural phenomena.

Something can be a meme, joke, both, or neither.

>>7946198

Who's the authority on when something becomes a meme?

Does the book say? You really need a first-hand account of that kinda thing.

In all seriousness, loud as fuck I bet.

The storms are a lot more energetic, and Jupiter's atmosphere is denser, so they'd be a hell of a louder.

>>7945936
Impossibly loud.

But nothing worth listening to

How loud is your head in a bubble in liquid lead/bismuth when that glorious nuclear wave erupts on the horizon and runs through you and it?

Itll sound fucking awesome, right?

WHO NEEDS TO HEAR WHEN NOTHING IN THE WORLD IS LEFT TO LISTEN TO??????

>sci autists think and do the exact opposite of this

>>7945864
I agree.

>>7945862
This is partially true because even the most complex statements can be summarized and explained in short sentence.

For example, there may be a lot of theory behind functions but you can just say that a function is a map from one space to another and this phrase, while incomplete, immediately creates a mental image of what a function does.

However, this is what is known as popsci understanding. This is what your professor should say in the first introductory lecture.

Bitch please. Anyone's that's tried to factor large numbers knows that you can't use statistics to create new hypotheses.
