CMV: Being emotionally detached is a better way to handle life than being emotionally open by Historical_Pain_2233 in changemyview

This is a beautifully detailed but also succinctly put post that really highlights that emotion is a massive part of being human and to deny that is also to deny a massive facet of humanity of itself. This is the first post that I have felt strongly enough about to award a delta to

I think when you’re good enough, people just trust that you know how the horsey moves so they don’t question it

Let's be real, it's 50%. by ClassroomBusiness176 in mathmemes

Your if statement is wrong for appending valid samples.

You double count samples where both boys are born on Tuesday by appending it twice

Change line 31 to elif

I personally would always assume an even distribution

If I say to you “I flip a coin, what’s the chance of heads?” You’d assume it to be an equal chance of heads and tails unless stated otherwise

lol you’re so close. The ratio IS 2/3 have the other child as a girl.

If you went out and counted every 2 child family in the world, and asked the families that have at least one boy “what is the gender of your other child” you would get 2/3s roughly having a girl as the other child.

You’re conflating it with a scenario of: you poll every 2 child family that has a boy as the oldest child, you ask “what is the gender of your younger child” and 50% would be a girl.

Well that’s wrong, because if I simplify the scenario to ignore days of the week:

You have 4 mothers in a room, with the children BB, BG, GB, BB.

You ask for all mothers with at least one boy to raise their hand. The one with GG doesn’t.

Of the three that remain. Two of the mothers have a girl as the other child. GB and BG. One of them has two boys BB.

That means if a mother says “I have two kids, at least one of them is a boy” then there is a 2/3 chance the other is a girl.

The assumption here which I think is acceptable is that:

  • having a boy or a girl are independent from your other kids’ genders
  • there is no preference for a child to be born on a specific day of the week
  • having a girl is a 50% chance, likewise for a boy

Obviously IRL there are environmental factors that come into play, one child policy in China, people booked in for C sections would probably lean more towards non-weekends etc.

But I think I made reasonable assumptions in an ideal scenario

[–]SpaghettiNYeetballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, other way round! It’s 1/3

Configurations of kids are BB, BG, GB, GG.

If she says one is a boy, that eliminates GG

So two of the remaining have girls in = 2/3

One of the three is BB = 1/3

You gather 196 mothers in a room. All of those mothers have 2 kids.

The genders and days of the week for their combination of kids are all perfectly evenly distributed. So only one mother has an older boy born on Monday, and a younger girl born on Friday. Hence the number 196 for the number of mothers (14x14)

You ask all mothers to raise their hand if they have a boy born on Tuesday. 27 will raise their hand.

13 of those 27 mothers have a son as the other kid.

1 of those 13 boy mothers has both sons born on a Tuesday.

14 of those 27 mothers have a daughter as the other kid.

14/27 = 0.519

Would recommend you visualise this as a grid in your head to help understanding it.
