A 4/6 chance is better odds than a 24/36 chance.

Yea of course, because 24 > 4.

This just shows that /sci/ doesn't actually know math.

Monty Hall problem

I only gamble on 1 chances.

i don't understand math so please explain, why?

@juve is this correct?

>>9106299
It's a meme.

4/6 and 24/36 are the same

Its like saying 50/100 is better odds than 1/2

>>9106299
are u retarded ?

>>9106397
It didn't seem right but i don't come here often and assume you guys know ur shit.

No. However, in an experiment where 24/36 results ended up favorable, the empirical average is closer to the expected value than in an experiment where 4/6 results were favorable. Or in other words, the likelihood of the 24/36 experiment's average being close to the theoretically expected value is higher than in the 4/6 experiment.

In one the sample size would be 10, in the other 60. As the sample size reaches for infinity, the predictions we can derive from the experiments should be closer to reality. In other words.

Uh no, the sample sizes would be 6 and 36, respectively.

At least you got this part right.

>better

What if it is a chance of something bad happening? Wouldn't it then be "worse?"
