3 Probability Paradoxes: Challenging Our Understanding of Chance
<p>In the world of mathematics, you’d expect that the chances of a child correctly matching their shoes to the right feet, or the possibility of correctly inserting a USB into a computer port, would stand at a clean 50 percent. This is based on the simple premise that there are two possible outcomes — right or wrong. However, <strong>reality paints a completely different picture, as these rates are closer to zero.</strong> Experience tells us that children tend to put the wrong shoe on the wrong foot almost every single time. Similarly, when it comes to plugging a USB into a computer, it often takes us three or four attempts to get it right. <strong>It’s a paradox that defies our basic understanding of probability,</strong> challenging the notion of chance and randomness.</p>
