If you can die by overdose of antidote pills, your chance of surviving isn't the chance of getting at least 1 pill, it's the chance of getting at least 1 pill but not enough pills to kill you.
Also the last half of this video (converting P or Q to not(not P and not Q) is just de Morgan's law, which is more commonly used in first order logic.
but if you OD on too many antidote pills, what if you get 3 of the antidote pills, or 2 antidote pills and something else?? that's more on the odds not to survive that you didn't include... just saying
AP English: Literature has fried my brain. Proof? All through watching this video, I kept thinking about "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" and giggling.
For the final word problem, why bother with 5/6*4/5*3/4*2/3? There is one bullet in one of six chambers. In four shots, there is a 4/6 chance you fire a bullet and a 2/6 chance of not firing a bullet.
this vid helped me with my CMTs (state test) thanks hank also i was absent the whole time we were learning probiblity and this test is insanely important SO THANKS HANK
Sat at work on one very boring Sunday and flipped a quarter 200 times onto heads in a row. Why? because a coin flip is not random and is in fact physics, I can flip a coin in the exact same way (same angle, same rotational energy, same height, etc..) and the environment was also controlled to same temp, no wind, etc.. Randomness did not come into it.
Umm if your bringing in superheros somebody like lets say Peter Parker could tell which side it was going to land on because of supernaturally fast brain and reaction times
the video didn't talk about independence at all (events or random variables)! this video is kinda misleading to talk about the multiplicative property and not mention that for it to apply the events must be independent. also central limit theorem sorry i'm nerd gushing
Learning about probability in math recently (in 2012) and used what I learned from this to ACE THE TEST my ass teacher gave us without showing how to combine probabilities.
ALSO: When i first watched this video I had no idea what a TARDIS was. Now I know, and It makes me SO HAPPY! THANK YOU HANK!
@schnitzeltruck1 Actually weight doesn't change how fast something falls. See Galileo's famous experiment in which he dropped weights from the famous bell tower at Pisa.
There seems to be a bit of a confusion here in the comments about what the word "Odds" actually mean. I study statistics, so I thought that I'd try to clear up some of the confusion.
Odds are defined in the following way: "The probability of an event happening divided by the probability of the event NOT happening". In this case the odds would be: (1/1024) / (1023/1024) = 1/1023 which is about 0.00098.
@alex93091 You appear to have misunderstood; he means that the way it was written on the screen was incorrect. The notation used in the video was unclear, in that it could easily be misinterpreted as stating that (and seemingly implied) the idea of the fraction being (1^10)/2, as opposed to the actual fraction which is (1/2)^10. The latter is equal to 1/1024, while the former is simply equal to 1/2, because 1^10=1 and 2^10=1024.
@wreynolds1995 Well thanks. And I understood him. Him comment was a bit incomplete. You don't have to write parenthesis around fraction ALL the time, Plus, when you are making a video you might be a bit preocupied with other things.
@alex93091 We all understood what he meant; the person you were responding to was pointing it out just to be pedantic, hence why he tagged on the notion of there being "grammar nazis in math". Technically, you kind of do have to put the parenthesis around fractions when you're raising them to a power; there are few other ways of being clear about that sort of thing, and clarity is usually everything when you write something. You might be preoccupied with other things, but once again, pedantry.
Question: If you believe that the universe is endless, then could you say that there is another earth out there, with another Hank and John and me and everyone else on it? The odds are very very very very very very very very very slim, but if its endless shouldn't it be possible?
if you specialize in applied probability, or you're just really good at throwing stuff, like me, you will know there are ways to get the coin to land on one side more often, such as similar throws with the same arc, rotation speed, and beginning throw side direction, also, you are much more likely to roll a certain number if you weight or round out one side of the dice, which is, of course cheating, so, probability can be manipulated, but not very effectively.
actually, its 50.01% chance of heads and 49.99% chance of tails (when a British 2p coin is used) because there is slightly more metal on the side of heads and therefore changed the center of gravity giving it a slight bias.

answer to last word problem: 100 percent i grab the other five bullets in my pocket (and assuming that this is a .44 magnum) the dinosaur dies from its wounds boom
you said 48% probability on dying, displayed 32% on your video, and the actual %age is: 48%, so thats kind of confusing, and I think you did it again on your chemestry/biochemestry post when you were discussing 8 octets being needed. I like your stuff, but polish things up a bit, yannoh?
I've been learning this in school for years, over and over again, and I understand it perfectly, but never has it been as interesting as you made it. How do you teach me things I already know and make me watch the whole video anyway? You should be a teacher.
you lost me, but i promise i'll come back and watch this video in the morning, i live in Australia and its midnight so all of that was blah blah blah. but i promise i'll be back. :)
Actually it's not too hard to figure out the number of possible poker hands: for your 1st card there are 52 choices: any card in the deck. Then with that one taken away, you have 51 choices for your 2nd card. Then 50 choices for #3, 49 for #4, and 48 for #5. Multiply those together. That's the number of possibilities if order matters, eg: 1,2,5,A,J is different from 2,5,A,1,J. To get rid of the repeats, divide your answer by (5x4x3x2x1). Or just go into your calculator and type 52 nCr 5
im sorry but the firs tthing i noticed was "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" sitting on his bookshelf right behind him and ahd a mini freak out. kaynowimagoflipacoin. lmfao
dr. manhattan can see all time simultaneously, it is not pre-determined because he only experiences his surroundings so anybody else can do stuff in that space... anyway point being dr. manhattan could definitely see how that coin was going to land if he was with you as you flipped it
Apart from it's proven a coin is more likely to land on heads as the markings make it heavier on one side. I think, for once, you are wrong Hank Green. You got something wrong.
Umm Hank, I feel compelled to tell you as a D&D nerdfighter, that rolling a die is not always a one in six ordeal. There are dice whos sides range from one to four, all the way to one to one hundred.
So on the last one I simply took the 30% chance that it would stop along with the 1 in 6 chances that you would hit it, that is a 5% chance, BUT! You get to pull the trigger 4 times, thus upping your chance to 20%, somehow this worked, and I figured it out in my head before you finished explaining it... I love it when my brain does awesome things.
@DreamfallenOne That's a little sad. Especially considering that this video is just basic probability. He barely scratches the surface of Boolean arithmetic let alone touching statistics. I know you were probably kidding, but still.
I actually flipped a coin once, and it landed on it's side on the ground. I'm serious. It didn't stay still, it rolled a lot, but it happened. But this time, 5 heads, 5 tails. My life is weird.
ehh last one is wrong cos you forgot to account for the chance of getting a bullet onn the first time you pulled the trigger or the second or the third
I'm so glad I found this video! My teacher is crap at teaching so he confused what I already knew and I ended up failing his exam. Twice. I have to do it again in August!
Um, I gotta be honest. I had way more fun with the head-chopping of France. ):
HANK, EVEN YOU CANNOT BREACH MY HATRED OF MATH. It just...can't happen. I watched it all the way through, though. So it might have gone in my head a little. I hope.
I could have totally used this last June when reviewing for my Applied Math exam. I mean, I did well on this unit anyways, but Hank just makes it more interesting. (With all due respect to my math teacher of course. He was totally jokes. But who wouldn't want Hank teaching them about probability?)
I love how no matter who it is on the internet that is making the video when albert einstein's picture is edited in it's always the one with his tounge out.
my teacher showed us this in 5th period advanced math for a reward,she left the room and left the video playing,lets just say she didn't watch the full video first. ;)
Wow, it's been a couple of years since I did this. And i was probably the only person in my entire class that actually liked word problems. Especially ones involving parabolas. I really liked those.

After working on calc for a few hours, something I dreaded in elementary school doesn't seem so scary (damned fractions).

So, in a large enough quantity, is there true randomness or chaos within any situation?

I actually flipped a coin once, and it landed on it's side on the ground. I'm serious. It didn't stay still, it rolled a lot, but it happened. But this time, 5 heads, 5 tails. My life is weird.

I'm so glad I found this video! My teacher is crap at teaching so he confused what I already knew and I ended up failing his exam. Twice. I have to do it again in August!

Why can't school have word problems like this? IT WOULD MAKE MATH SO MUCH BETTER!!!!

HANK, EVEN YOU CANNOT BREACH MY HATRED OF MATH. It just...can't happen. I watched it all the way through, though. So it might have gone in my head a little. I hope.

I could have totally used this last June when reviewing for my Applied Math exam. I mean, I did well on this unit anyways, but Hank just makes it more interesting. (With all due respect to my math teacher of course. He was totally jokes. But who wouldn't want Hank teaching them about probability?)

When being attacked by terrorist dinosaurs, the safest thing to do is not get out of the TARDIS.

Wow, it's been a couple of years since I did this. And i was probably the only person in my entire class that actually liked word problems. Especially ones involving parabolas. I really liked those.
