Statistics Experiment (pick a number 1 - 50) Experiment is over.. We failed to beat the odds

[deftron]

I need you to pick a number between 1 -50

Pick it randomly and dont look at what other people picked.

Post your number.


At 9 replies there was a 50 % chance two people would pick the same number..

It actually hapened twice,so we failed to beat the odds rather miserably


I was going to see if we could make it to 20 replies without the same number being picked (roughly 100% odds)
but it didn't look like it was going to happen 😉

Depending on whether or not people actually picked a random number...
we failed to beat the odds

Like people will really pick a random number if you ask it that way.
