Sorry, my maths lesson will begin in a few minutes, on the top floor, and I'm sitting on the lowest.

Three variables each have a value between 0 and 10. How big is the possibility that at least one of these variables has a value above 7.5?

Hehe, simple stats problem:

1 - (3/4)^3 or 57.8125%

what do you mean "how big is the possibility"?
-in percentages?
-x# in every y#?
-how many out of the 3 variables?

what exactly are you looking for?

-in percentages?

In whatever way, x:x, %, fractions, whateva, you smart, educated guys sure must know more ways to show possibility than me

-x# in every y#?

???

-how many out of the 3 variables?

If I understand you right here, you have probably been programming to much! Let me rephrase that to 1<=, there, now you might understand.

ok,never mind...
the answer is already there. i just wanted to try it out... and i got the same thing...
anyway....
have any of you noticed that when you type "%" in some fonts, and you look closely, you see "96"?

you might think i am crazy... in fact, i know i am crazy, but what is a fellow to do? i AM crazy... i am soooo bored...

have any of you noticed that when you type "%" in some fonts, and you look closely, you see "96"?

and in some cases, it also works the other way around...

**Jet_Master** · 06-18-2002

ok. after a long wait...
here is A little maths problem for you:

Code:

If XY = 10 
and X2Y + XY2 + X + Y = 99,
Find (X2 + Y2)

this one is pretty easy.

well hmmm,
x = (9 - (41)^0.5) / 2, y = (9 + (41)^0.5) / 2
OR
x = (9 + (41)^0.5) / 2, y = (9 - (41)^0.5) / 2

so x^2 + y^2 = 61

Okay, this isn't a math problem, but it is an amusing quote:

"There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't."
