That's not how maths work. You're describing something that works for non-dependent events. Flipping a coin 50 times previously has no bearing on how it will flip the 51st time. The events are said to be independent.
In a six round revolver loaded with a single bullet and then randomized, pulling the trigger advances the next round. The first pull has a 1/6 (or 1/600, whatever) chance of firing. You will fire (assuming no mechanical malfunction and no randomization of the round after each pull) in those first 6 shots with a probability of 1.
- gambiting 13y agoSorry, I honestly thought that you would spin before every try, in which case, every test would have the same 1/6 probability of firing.
- avalaunch 13y agoWhich just means you didn't read the comment to which you were replying...
- gambiting 13y agoI did, but because I didn't know that in Russian Roulette you are not supposed to spin before each try, I assumed that the guy I was replying to was wrong.
- matthuggins 13y agoSimple misunderstanding that I made as well until I read your comment chain.
