<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 4193314, member: 59737&quot;]I only brought up my service to counter your ridiculous comment and false stereotype of millennial pollster. I thank you for your son&#039;s service and prefer not to discuss that subject any further.</p><p><br /></p><p>12.5% of 1% is obviously .00125. I don&#039;t know what you think you are instructing me on. The discussion surrounding .00125 was the probability that a slab was fake. If you have 100 slabs, the probability that they are fake is still .125%. The probability doesnt change because there are 100 slabs. 100 just becomes the n in the probability equation. I certainly hope you don&#039;t tell me that if there&#039;s 1,000 slabs, that the chances of them being fake are 125%. It&#039;s admittedly been almost 2 decades since I dealt with binomial probability, but a probability cannot be greater than 100% (or actually, 1), so this fails the common sense test. I admit that it&#039;s been a decade or two since I&#039;ve messed with binomial probabilities, but I&#039;m quite certain that isn&#039;t how it works. The theory doesnt fit the math you tried. It is precisely because I&#039;m capable of doing more than absentmindedly converting .125% into a decimal by moving it two places that I&#039;ve called this out.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also have no idea what or how I was taught (well over 20 years ago when I started learning fractions and decimals), so I find it ironic that you feel equipped to comment on the subject. Even more ironic, is you have done exactly what you&#039;ve accused me of and gotten the solution incorrect. It appears the the only person incapable of applying theory and falling victim of their education is you.</p><p><br /></p><p>And since I know you&#039;ll never admit to being wrong and retract your incorrect statements, I&#039;ll go ahead and sign off with a fitting meme.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076346[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
