2.5%
Yes, but the question is not asking for a blowjob from girl A OR a blowjob from girl B, it's asking for the probability of a blowjob. So you did not subtract the probably that both will occur, aka AND

1) I don't like the way the question is actually worded.
Sarah has a 5% chance to give you a blowjob today.
Mindy has a 5% chance to give you a blowjob today.
What's the % chance you get a blowjob today?
The girls having a chance to give a bj is different than my chances of getting one from one of them

2)Where are the pics of Sarah and Mindy?

I can see how someone would say 10% (adding probabilities), or 5% (assumption that the bj isn't more likely if you have multiple small chances), but 25%? Wtf? How does that even make any sense?

.05 from girl A + 0.5 from girl B = .1 or 10%

Yeah, it's A v B, which is not the same as (A v B) ^ ~(A ^ B)

Anyone in this thread with the math and games theory skills to actually solve the equation will be seen as nerds by Sarah and Mindy, thus receiving zero bjs.

Anyone who can't figure it out will be seen as a moron with good looks (Chad), and will receive 1 meticulous bj from Sarah and 1 sloppy bj from Mindy.

Anyone who can figure out the equation, but chooses not to be bothered with the math and leave it up to chance has 5% chance of getting a bj from Sarah and 5% chance of one from Mindy.

Except the events aren't mutually exclusive in this case.

You cannot answer this question without knowing how many possible people are in play to give you a bj. Is it just those two? The entire school? The entire world?

and you are potato by the logic that if 20 girls offer you a 5% blowjob each, you think you're guaranteed a blowjob that day

you probably also think that if you had 365 people in the room, everybody would have a different birthday.

Any girl named Mindy is 100% guaranteed to be a massive sloot, so your chance is way higher than 5%.

This is also true...if every woman on the planet has a 99.9% chance of giving you a blow job today, that's still not 100%. I find it amazing that people lack such a basic understanding of statistics when I learned this **** in junior high.

I always had a hunch most of the misc was retarded but this thread really spelled it out for me. The correct answer is provided and explained several times on the first page, yet people still keep coming in and posting potato answers based on flawed potato logic.

I wouldn't fault anyone for not knowing how to calculate it, math is nerdy chit and not for everyone, but the people who think they are right based on complete nonsense reasoning, wtffffffffff

Also wanna know where you work OP. And holy chit dying at all the responses, 5 star thread ayyyyy lmao
Without the internet i feel like a small rock on the mountain.

I don't really want my posts on the internet tbh ... I'm just legit addicted to posting ... people become addicted to the internet look it up

if one was 50% and other 50%, that means 100%? I do believe the number is higher than 5% but a bit lower than 10%

Of course the autistic stemcells have to go and make an easy problem look complicated. It takes a law man to simplify it for the people.


The chances you get a blowjob today are:

5% (sarah) + 5% (mindy) - .25% (both) = 9.75%

You subtract .25% because if Sarah blows you, whether or not Mindy also blows you, you got your bj for the day. And likewise, if Mindy blows you, whether or not Sarah also blows you, you got your bj for the day.
