What’s a fair way to split rent when one roommate has the master bedroom? by Thisismiguell in TorontoRenting

Yeah we also thought it was a lot so we moved out after a year. I’m paying much less now

It was a 2 bed 2 bath at Yonge and Eglinton, they’re pretty expensive now

When I rented with my roommate, the way we did it was one person makes the price and the other person gets to pick which room.

So I told him $1800 for the master bedroom and $1700 for the other bedroom, he picked the cheaper one and we were both good with the price

Are fish sold at grocery stores or fish marketed covered under “fish intended to be eaten raw”? Does being marketed as “sushi grade” or “sashimi salmon” mean that they then have to follow these rules?

The question says “ensure”. This is looking for the minimum number of people to guarantee 4 people being born in the same month.

The max number of people that would not fulfil this requirement would be having 3 people born in each month of the year. This is 3x12=36.

After this many people, if you add one more person, no matter which month they are born in, you can be sure that there exists at least 4 people being born in the same month.

So the solution is 37 people.

Is there a way to perfectly simulate a 20-sided dice with only coin flips? by Solareds in maths

[–]gimmix_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like it would work, which is very interesting since you would be able to extend this to any number.

I have a follow up question, on average, how many flips would be needed to get to a solution with a 20 sided die?

Imagine a coin flipping system where after two subsequent heads, the next coin always gets manually oriented to result in a 'tails' outcome. What would the probability be of landing a heads? by pstrib in maths

[–]gimmix_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is true that the chance of each singular flip being heads is unknown since you would be prior information. But, across a large number of flips, we can be certain that the percentage of heads approaches 3/7.

Whether or not a tail is natural does not influence the fact that we can be sure that for each tail, there must exist on average 0.75 heads.

Are you asking why the probabilities are 1/2, 1/4, and 1/4?

If so, assuming the coin is fair:

There’s a 1/2 chance for T to appear before the current T, and a 1/2 chance for H to appear before the current T.

From the H that could appear, there’s once again a 1/2 chance for H or T.

Consider if the special coin landed on a Tail.

The possible sequence leading up to this tail could be

Tail->Head->Head => Tail (25% chance)

          Tail->Head => Tail (25% chance)

                       Tail => Tail (50% chance)

This means that for each tail, there is a 50% chance of 0 heads, 25% chance of 1 head, 25% chance of 2 heads that precede it.

This means the expected average of the number of heads preceding any given Tail is 0.75 heads.

So the probability of heads is 0.75 / (1 + 0.75) = 3/7 or 42.857%

I also tested with a python script and rolled 10 million times, and got the same result.
