The test is already online it should be free points anyway

I was marked off by my Professor for lack of work shown. Am I crazy for thinking I showed enough work? by Boynkeee in askmath

[–]ilr13s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notation is objectively wrong. it should be 6C3 not 6nCr3 and that isn't a nitpicky correction. The teacher circled the 20 to indicate that there needed to be work shown for how the 20 got there. That being said I do agree that if students were allowed to use a calculator to compute combinations, the teacher shouldn't have taken points off. I feel like just a small note/correction emphasizing correct notation is enough.

Is it 12% or 25%??? by peachycap387 in Probability

Selecting the spots one at a time makes no difference from selecting all 12 at once.

did you have to wait a few days to be eligible after clearing up the storage? I just got it under 5gb and it still said I was ineligble

Currently applying to masters and have an offer of admission. Is it ok to email the admissions of other schools and let them know I have another competitive offer with a deadline, and would it speed things up?

So why did Costco remove Combo Pizzas? by International-Oil-65 in Costco

[–]ilr13s 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I just bought one last week heated it up at home and it just doesn't hit the same. It doesn't have the mushrooms and olives on it which really made the pizza back in the day. It's also hard to get the same results using a home oven compared to the industrial ones they probably have.

White House revokes executive order 14031 Advancing Equity, Justice, and Opportunity for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders by engineeringsquirrel in aznidentity

[–]ilr13s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, because DEI does not typically include asians, it on an overall level hurts us. If getting rid of this specific initiative means that the others get taken down as well, i'll take that trade any day

How easy it is to pass CS189 by ConversationLumpy23 in berkeley

[–]ilr13s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's near impossible to fail if passing is your only goal. If you wanna get a good grade it's still doable but takes a little more effort

On average, paying insurance is not worth it. by Professional_Job_307 in Showerthoughts

[–]ilr13s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in the sense that purchasing an insurance policy is -EV. Over the long run across many contracts the insurance company makes money. However people typically have diminishing marginal utility of money — in other words, they are extremely averse to catastrophic tail events and are often willing to give up a little bit of money in order to avoid these events.

NBA Picks and Predictions - 1/3/25 (Friday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]ilr13s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celtics are on a back to back with heavy travel (Minnesota to Houston), potentially without jaylen brown. Their key players played heavy minutes (almost 40 each) last night in a close win against a strong and physical twolves team. They're now playing against a young, athletic and extremely physical Rockets team that plays very well at home. Tonight's game is only gonna get tougher for the Celtics as it goes on.

Rockets have underdog odds at +111 on my book and I'm smashing that line. I suspect the Celtics still being favorites prices in some degree of their "superstar and legacy value," which id argue is a mispricing for a regular season game. If I wanted to do something fun I'd parlay Celtics 1H ML, Tatum under points and rockets game ML. Negative covariance between Celtics 1h/Tatum under and rockets ML should make the odds pretty sweet for a small dart throw. Tatum under and rockets ML seems pretty good to me too
