I mean I made it 10 so you wouldn’t have to multiply by 100 but okay sure you can call it 0.1 as that is 10%

#204

calling it 10 is arbitrary. 1 is guaranteed and 0 is impossible. Everything inbetween is thus a fraction.

#205

this of course begs the question of what 2 is. But never mind that

#206

Yeah duh I just figured there wasn’t any point in making the reader jump through that hoop if saying “10 percent” is just simpler

#207

Also ngl scaling things to ±2 can be super useful

I did that for my blimp earlier today

#208

it can be but usually not when you are talking about probability

#209

Well probability exists between certainty and certainly not

#210

usually

#211

But how does one define something that usually happens?

We may say that something with a 50.1% chance of happening usually does and be correct, but to you and me that feels no more usual than a coin toss. Do we mean usually as in the human perception, somewhere around 75%? Or is your perception of where that should be different from mine?

#212

removing human perception is usually a good first step when it comes to defining your terms consistency

#213

So then you pick anything over 50% as usual?

While I can’t disagree, that seems like a very imprecise term, and I can’t think of many cases in which it’s particularly useful. :stuck_out_tongue:

#214

well if you want you can just pick a different word to use and pick a different arbitrary number to assign to it

#215

But then why use a word when a number will suffice to confuse less while telling as much?

#216

why use the word usually?

#217

For consiceness I guess

#218

would you prefer I substitute “>50%” in for ever instance of the word usually?

idk I’m too tired rn to decide whether I’d get tired of that lol

#220

it >50% doesn’t take long for you to figure that out on your own

Alright you have proven that that’s a bad idea

Also screw MATH 217

It wouldn’t even be that bad but they give us minimum 12-14 hours of homework a week (sometimes longer) and there has been maybe a half hour total of lecture the entire semester if I’m generous and round up

#222

hey I heard calculus was interesting. Are you saying I was lied to?
