How smart is /b/?

50%. One coin's outcome has no effect on the other.

>>937932177 (OP)
It's 50% because why would the first flip determine the second?

>>937932208
>>937932577

Looks like /b/ isn't very smart at all. That's the wrong answer, morons.

There’s always the super rare possibility those coins could land on the thin side and stand up straight, not landing on the heads or tails side

>>937932177 (OP)
If those two coins are flipped they'd both be tails.

1/3
The possibilities are head/tails, tails/head and head/head and they are all equally likely. tails/tails can't happen since at least one is head.

I pulled this explanation out of my ass.

>>937932177 (OP)
So, which side were they originally on? If one was on heads and the other is tails then it is 100 percent they'll land on the other side. This is easy

>>937932986
This really upsets you, doesn't it? I'm sure there is some cuck thread you can go to.

>>937932177 (OP)
50%, both coins are independent

>>937936984
Retard.

>>937932177 (OP)
Is this Monty Hall problem or its it some stupid answer like the coin might land on its edge

>>937932177 (OP)
The goat is behind door 2.

>>937936984

Are you stupid?

>>937940421
Not at all.
But I can clearly see you're a cheating retard who doesn't understand the first flip has no effect on the second.

>>937940460
>the first flip has no effect on the second.
Obviously. I'm saying that you're probably assuming that heads is first.

>>937940460
>the first flip has no effect on the second.

Nobody said that it does, you fucking simpleton. I'm not that anon, but I am going to explain this one time for you, brainlet. Try to engage your 4 brain cells to understand this, mouth breather.

For a 2 coin flip, there are three equally probable ways to get at least 1 heads coin.
HH, HT, TH

1 of those is HH

1 of 3

1/3

>>937940460
There was a guy who actually did this IRL and tallied the results (I'm not doing this), and the results were 31% heads second given heads first.

>>937940543
The directions on the OP aren't clear on that.
Read it again.

>>937940589
Then why are the directions so poor?
I bet you're the type of educator who blames his students when the whole class is failing.

It's still 50%. Quantum mechanics doesn't give a shit either.

>>937940614
Proof?

>>937940630
>The directions on the OP aren't clear on that.
"two coins are flipped" "at least one coin lands heads" meaning HH HT TH.
>Quantum mechanics
Kek.
>>937940646
>Proof?
I don't have his screenshot, but maybe it's in one of the old threads.

>>937940765
Anon, think about it.
If one lands heads, the other has to be heads or tails.
That's a 50% outcome.

>>937940630

You're just a fucking retard who can't answer a basic conditional probability question. I'm sure you'll be able to get a job at McDonalds or something.

>>937940867
>Uses AI
Fucking lol.
Can't math huh?

>>937940836
>If one lands heads
Again, you're thinking that the first coin WILL land heads—It might not.

>>937940898
I'll get a large Coke with that, thank you.

>>937940646

>>937940915
It doesn't matter because saying that at least one coin is heads.
You think that if it's heads or tails the other can't be heads.
And that isn't the question because it's saying one coin already is heads, what's the probability the other will be to.
50%

>>937940954
We know you smoke crack Anon.

Congratulations, you're smart enough to program a computer but not get the correct outcome.

No that's not the question, retard. Can you not read?

Even worse.

>>937941072
Get your own damn drugs junkie.
Read the fucking OP dipshit. It says a coin already is head.
Holy fuck are you this retarded?

>>937941030

Show us your code. I like your McDonalds shirt. It suits you.

>>937941117
You don't need software for something that can be calculated in your head you fucking vegetable.

>>937932177 (OP)
not me over here reading all the other anon's responses and using google and acting like i got the answer all by myself...that's not me at all, i swear...

Could someone explain to me how HH, HT, and TH aren't three equally probable outcomes (1/3)?

>>937941289
Because TH doesn't count.
It's saying if one coin is heads (already).
So it's HH or HT, i.e. 50%

>>937941221
Except you can't calculate it in your head because you're a brainlet. And you can't code either.

Make sure to include the ketchup packets.

>>937932177 (OP)
No matter how it lands, the democrats will cry.

>>937941396
>No Anon, you can't figure out if a coin is either heads or tails in your head.

>>937941338

HAHA you retard. Explain that one. We'll wait.

>>937941809

There are 3 ways for at least one coin to land heads for a 2 coin flip, retard.

>>937932177 (OP)
post all the fucking pie charts you want explaing A black hole and Emma stones asshole. It doesn't matter. You still have a 50 percent chance that the other coin will land on heads. You already stated that 1 coin landed on heads. So the question automatically turns into a 1 coin answer no matter what. You are flipping only 1 coin in this outcome 50 Percent that it lands on tails. 50 Percent that it lands on heads. There is no 3rd side of the coin dumb fucks. 50/50 is the answer now stfu...you can't post a math formula and claim that is the answer dumb assholes. You win///or you lose just like 2 face does in batman,,,its 50/50 dumb fucks.

>>937942075
See
>>937942125

>>937942066
>One coin is heads already.
How? I'll remind you of the question: "Two coins are flipped. What is the probability that both coins land heads if at least one coin lands heads". It doesn't specify whether the first or second coin lands heads.
You desperately don't want to be incorrect on the internet, so you're coping by making stuff up...

>>937942228
>one coin lands heads
Can you literally not fucking read?

>>937942300
You said that one coin is already heads, which isn't true. You don't get heads and then flip another coin to see if it's also heads (50% chance). You flip two coins randomly (TH is possible).

>>937932177 (OP)
>One coin is already heads
>Quickly read through question
>Most people won't see one is already heads
>Wrong answer because nobody really cares
>Got you
>Ok
Why do they bother making these dumb questions? I'm curious as to the psychological reason why.

Sunday

>>937942437
The conditional is inclusive in this context.
>If the first is heads, then the question has merit.
You're trying to argue the nature of probabilistic outcomes without first accounting the validity of the question first.
TH is not possible in this scenario. It would have to say,
>Two coins are flipped, supposing one his heads, what is the probability of the other outcome being heads?
In that scenario, they're not interdependent.

>>937942513
>One coin is already heads
The image didn't say that...

I'd like to get Fisher and Bernoulli out of their resting places and show them this shit, there are some retarded dudes out there man.

>>937942125
>You win///or you lose just like 2 face does in batman,,,its 50/50 dumb fucks.

Answer is 1/3

>>937946832
>Answer is 1/3
Lol

>>937946884
HH HT TH. Explain how TH isn't allowed.

>>937932177 (OP)
If the people arguing 50% actually belive that TH and HT are the same thing then i want them to tell me if they think the second and third option in pic related are the same thing and why or why not

The answer is of course, nigger.

>>937932177 (OP)
A quarter and a dime.
The possible outcomes look like this:
Q:T D:T
Q:T D:H
Q:H D:T
Q:H D:H
Each of these is equally likely to occur.

The coins are flipped, a guy peeks at the results and doesn't say what they are, but says, "It's one of these three:
Q:T D:H
Q:H D:T
Q:H D:H"


The odds that both landed heads is 1 in 3.

This is a thread about coin-flipping (Nobody needs to be a mathematician), retard.

Do you need to be a mathematician to calculate something?

>>937951162
Yes, if you want to be a success in a thread like this you would have to have the equivalent knowledge of an advanced mathematics degree, which you don't have. Sperging out and putting quarters neatly side-by-side doesn't make you an expert.
