Probability
You have begun to do a unit on probability. I would like you to watch the following video. At the end you see this number 0.0000001% What does it mean? Leave a comment behind.

oh woow. how did they ever make that commercial??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
after watching it, i wonder, how they got it on film? maybe they tried and tried with hired drivers to time all their cars? well thanks for the vid mrH.
mr. harbeck how come at the end it says "probability 0.0000001%" i didnt get it! but that's nice! they're like playing pingpong ir something like that! hehehehe...
haah wow . i still wonder how they did thaat . i think the "0.0000001%" meant that, thats the chance of it happening on an everyday status/on just any ordinary day .
Ha!NiCe OnE Mr.harBeCk!In ThIs VideO,ThE rEaSon whY ThE pRObabILiTy Of thAt ThiNG iS 0.0000001% iS bEcAuSe thErE is OnLy onE tIrE thAt GoeS baCk ANd FoRtH aLl ThE timE?I'm STiLl cOnFuSed......
WOW! that commercial was amazing hehe. I think they got 0.0000001% as a experimental probability because I think that 0.0000001% is the ratio of the number of times that event occured to the total amount of trials they did. It can't be theoretical probability because we saw that they tried it so it means they did an experiment. So 0.0000001% is the experimental probability of that event occuring on how many times they tried it.
this means that the probability of this ever happening to u or anyone would b 0.0000001%. wellould b some wat awesome if that ever happened to me wen i learn to drive.

wow that video showed something that could never happen so i think that wat the meant by 0.0000001%
I think it means the probability of that ever happening at all, under any condition. It's just not likely at all.
this means that the probability of this ever happening to u or anyone would b 0.0000001%. wellould b some wat awesome if that ever happened to me wen i learn to drive.
