Chocolate Statistics
May 25, 2011If at any one moment in time, there is a 73% chance that I have chocolate on my bum, and 58% of the time there is no one around who can be relied upon to tell me if I do or not, and 6% of the time I leave the house without checking my backside first, what are the odds that I will go to the store with a chocolate tushie and never know it?

Hmmm, if you see someone that you know, your chances increase exponentially.
ReplyDeleteI never was very good at story problems. Are we being graded on this?
ReplyDelete52%. Because even if you check 96% of the time, there is a 43% chance that you got new chocolate on your pants just from sitting in the car.
ReplyDeleteLove the new format, very nice!
Oh, the car! I didn't even take that into consideration! I'll probably just have to accept my fate and wear brown pants everyday.
ReplyDeleteUh, I'm pretty sure I remembered to add the one and carry the 4, but I'm a little confused. So I'm just gonna say, pretty high? Just guessing. I only teach first grade, so percentages aren't really part of the gig.

ReplyDeleteHey, I like the new look!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to regularly check for undone buttons and zippers because no one around here is going to notice for me.
