minus-square@Aurenkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink14•1 year agoThe probability of rolling a six is 1/6 no matter what numbers were rolled previously. Unless I’m misunderstanding your point
minus-square@Kbobabob@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoUnless you start adding extra mass to one side, ie adding more things to your life that this could happen to.
minus-square@Aurenkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•edit-21 year agoWe are discussing independent probabilistic events, at least that was my understanding. Dice are just a nice intuitive example.
minus-square@AndOfTheSevenSeas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink0•1 year agoThere is timer on this probability and as one approaches zero time remaining the greater the probability of the event.
minus-square@Aurenkin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•1 year agoI’m not understanding something. Why is there a timer on the event and why does a timer increase the probability as time runs out? Wouldn’t it be the opposite because there are less chances for it to happen as time runs out?

If we were discussing dice, yes.
