Who would've known the results would end up as a tie. Very surprising to say the least. I'm very proud and happy for both candidates
That doesn't explain much. Could you at least share the equation? I haven't had probability theory (yet) at university, and when I tried calculating it myself I got 25%, which intuitively doesn't seem right (if it is, then it wasn't so unlikely after all!). Anyway, chance doesn't work like that here, as the distribution of votes wasn't random.
Well than my equation isnt valid i rechecked my formula and it's used to find the probability of a RANDOM event
I was going to count up the possibilities - run through all the numbers, and count the bits in each and do a "number of bits even / number of all" and number of all is 2^ 156, or 91,343,852,333,181,432,387,730,302,044,767,688,728,495,783,936 or a bit above 91 Quattuordecillion (91 Septilliard). I decide I didn't want t count that, after all. I'd be here a while. I decided to go another route - let's count up small ones to see if we can find a pattern! I did! Looks like it's A000984 from the OEIS but they don't list the 78th term. So working with that, I get: 6.38% Using `bc`: define f(n) { if (n < 2) return(1) return(n * f(n - 1)) } define a(n) { return f(2*n)/(f(n)^2) } scale=5 v=156 a(v/2)/2^v*100 6.37700 Please check my math - I have no llamas in my office.
It's a circle perfectly divided down the middle. You'll have to envision it in your head as I'm on the phone travelling and unable to load one in.
Congratulations to the presidents! Interesting, binompdf(156, 0.5, 78) gives 0.06377959..., which is practically equal to that. I'm not sure if binompdf is the right thing though - it's been a bit again since I had this stuff.
Due to the way the scaling worked, yes, that is the answer I got with more precision. I cut it to 3 decimal places (I know - scale said 5 - but I had to add two more because of where I put the x100%). If i let it go longer, it would have produced the exact number you got as it's the same function. The highest math I ever took was Calculus. I skipped discrete algebra and statistics as I liked my sanity far, far more.
Wot in tarnation Technically if we went by old school United States laws, Rhino and I would be vice president
Welp sorry Jacob I don't follow the American ways. One is my way =P all hail VP's EquableHook and MoreMoople. For we are the true presidents and will have our leaders impeached! Uh I mean love you Windylava please don't kick me out of SSRC
