That Daily Shower Can Be a Killer
Author doesn't understand how statistics/probabilities work and it ruins the article.<p>If you roll a dice six times, you have no guarantee to get a six. Each time you roll the dice, you have 1/6th chance of getting a six and this doesn't change no matter how many times you roll.<p>If you roll a dice six times, you have around 66,51% (1-(5/6)^6) chance of getting six at least once.<p>For the same reason, if you have 1/1000th chance of dying under the shower, and you take 5,000 showers, you won't die 5 times...<p>You will have 1-(999/1000)^5000 chance of dying, that 99,32%. That's not 1. So you won't die 5 times.
