  • Mathematical Conundrum or Not? Number Six

    Anyone want to see me make a random selection from a continuous normal distribution under the same conditions?

    Cash limit is 15 bucks only one dollar bills.

    x <- rnorm(1, mean = 2.5, sd = 1)
x <- abs(as.numeric(format(round(x, 0))))
x

#Pulls a number at random then rounds it. 
#If I get 0 or greater than 5 then I just re-roll.
#I could code the re-roll in but I am being lazy. 


[1] 2

    2 bucks.

    So I put 2 in A and 4 in B. Once again they are the same event pulled from the same sample space at the same time.

    I don't know why people keep making all these assumptions about the unknown domain, distribution, and selection methods when there are an uncountable number of ways to accomplish this task.
