Nefag here.. wanted to post something for anyone having troubles with the "math"
Im not a mathfag.. but saw this floating around and thought it was a good description of probability
The formula to calculate the probability of random events teaches us that successions of events grow exponentially higher with each occurrence. In formula terms this would be described as the number of outcomes (typically binary.. there is only one actual outcome) over the number of possible ways it can happen. Lets say each event in an of itself is considered a 1/2 chance.. or 50%.. but once these events are added in succession it changes things up. For example.. lets say you flip a coin and get 3 heads in a row.. most people would say "It's likely the next will be a tail".. when in actuality.. the flip itself has the same probability of 50% as the other 3 flips. So.. in simplified terms.. the succession of probability can be described as the probability of a single event multiplied exponentially by the number of instances or repetitions. So in the coin toss case this would look like (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.125% chance the 4th toss will be a head. Now.. lets apply this to Q…. I have found 131 "coincidences" in the posts. The posts have 2 possible outcomes.. either they are True or False.. (Remember.. everything can be reduced to Binary.. yes/no, true/false, on/off etc.) SO.. if we take the probablity of 50% (or 0.5) and multiply that by itself 131 times.. we end up with an equations that looks like (0.5e131) = 3.6734e-40… Why does this matter? It basically says that there is a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000036734% chance that this is all just a "coincidence"… Math is fun right?
