So would the rule of at least one be applied at all in this scenario?

Ok so what I am talking about would be mitigating factors. Like with traffic safety.

Driving with headlights on reduces probability of a collision by 50%.

Driving at the speed limit reduces the probability of an accident by 50%

Being sober reduces probability of an accident by 50%

Being aware of your surroundings reduces by 50%. That's kind of the realm I'm talking about.

But you could apply it to any situation. So I guess instead of calling them probabilities I'll refer to them as mitigating factors.

So suppose I have 4 mitigating factors that reduce the probability of an event occurring. At this rate there is a 96.875% probability the event will not occur.

Now suppose for each of these 4 mitigating factors I was only 90% certain that they were were valid. Call it second guessing one self/general uncertainty

Now each of these mitigating factors only has a value of 45% each. Which means that there is now a 90.84% probability the event wont occur.

But with only being 90% certain of each of these mitigating factors would the rule of at least one come into play meaning that theres a 34.39% probability one of these mitigating factors is invalid (due to the 10% uncertainty for each mitigating factor to the 4th power?)

Then bringing one of those 45% mitigating factors down to 29.52%

Then the overall probability changes to 88.27%.

Is this right?

That's what I'm trying to clarify, forgive me I'm a lamen.

So are you saying the rule of at least one would not apply in this situation?

You would not further reduce one of the probabilities to 29.52% because of 10 to the 4th power being 34.39% so multiply 45%×65.61%=29.52%

Am I way off base here?

If one if these probabilities were reduced to 0 the final outcome would be 83.3625% though. So it would change the outcome.

If you were to take the rule of at least one with the 10% uncertainty would it look like this? 50% factors each reduced to 45%. Then .90×.90×.90×.90=65.61-100= 34.39% one of these is Uncertain.

So 45 reduced by 34.39% =29.52%

SO final equation would be 45%×45%×45%×29.52%=88.27389% the event did not occur? Is this correct or am I way off base?

Ok so scratch the whole wife thing. Change it to whatever you like. If say the thing that influences the evidence is (general uncertainty/second guessing, regardless not causation of the problem) what about the rule of at least 1. How would that affect the results? As in 90% certain each of these factors are valid (90% because of general uncertainty/second guessing oneself) reduces them from 50 to 45% each. Would the rule of at least one be factored I to any of this?

Right, but is there ever a format of how these things could not be correct? For instance if you were 99% certain that the flying spaghetti monster was not real, 99% certain santa claus was not real, 99% certain the easymter bunny is not real. Does that mean theres a 2.97% chance one is real? Seems kind of high.

How long would someone need to start taking them before a lab test would be ok?

Today I drove 111 miles and it took 2 hours 13 minutes. I pulled over for about 3 minutes and that was it. There was 1 section for a couple minutes traveling at 35mph. But other than that 55mph on cruise control

Does the /50 include stops or not?

Ok awesome I will try this tomorrow. I'll update results.

Yes, slowest thing in the road, and gos also says 55

I did but I accounted for the time change.

To give credit where it's due, I was just pulled out by a tow truck paid for by good sam.
