new semi question

[edit]

so, I got to check "In class? (5)" (use ctrl+f) and I'm doing that right now. shouldn't that be extra? Twineee talk Roc 00:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I literally made an account just to address this

[edit]

On question 18.1 it should be "one in 6,950,195^2" (or whatever the number is at the time of you reading this) and my mathaholic ass can't handle Wikipedians not grasping basic probability math (even though statistics is the worst kind of math imo).

This page is semi-protected, so can someone please fix this or I might try to make some other edits so I can edit this later. OagNwoeMnoC625 (talk) 05:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well my maths skills is on the decline but I think it's right how it is because first you click on an article, which can be anything, then your chance of clicking on that same article is 1 in 6.9 million. It is just 6.9 million because the first article can be anything.
But I believe for the squared to be there, you'd have to choose a specific start article before you click 'random'. So for example you decided that the first article is Carpet again, and the second article is also carpet. Well the probability of the first article being Carpet is 1 in 6.9 million, and the probability of the second article being Carpet is also 6.9 million. So you multiply them together and that would be 1 in 6.9 million squared. ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:01, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
