This math problem has got my whole office debating each other holy **** (hard)(Srs)

I'll put it in misc terms:

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?

One camp says 10%
Another says 5%
Another says 25%

What's correct?

10% imo

The 25% camp are legit potatoes by that logic if one was 25% and the other was 25% you would have a 625% chance to get a BJ

I say look at at it like this:

You are playing the blowjob lottery, and each one of the chicks is a separate ticket you've bought.

With just one ticket (chick) you have a 5% chance of winning, but with 2 tickets (chicks) you have a 10% chance of winning.

So I say 10%

So I say 10%
I was in the 10% chance bc of basic math but from two sources independently doing so we'd have to take the expected value like in game theory 101.

So .05(1) + .05(1) = .1 so it's 10%

That's wrong brah. Consider this, you have two girls who both have a 50% chance to blow you. Does that mean that your chance for a BJ is now 50+50 = 100%? No, of course not, you could easily roll two 0:s on the BJ dice and end up rotting. You're just close by chance.

Assuming Sarah and Mindy are independant sloots

5 out of 100 times Sarah gives you a bj
5 out of 100 times Mindy gives you a bj

10 out of 100 times you get BJ
= 10%

This poster has basically shown that EVERYONE in your office is wrong and math retarded. Does anyone else find that scary?

This is the reason why only smart people should be allowed to vote.

Wrong, that would assume the two events cannot overlap and still both have a 5% chance of happening.

Any staff that said 25% should be fired. That level of stupidity can't be good for business. Probably a woman.
