FA CUP 5TH ROUND DRAW

[quasi modo]

Think Leeds have a chance of taking City to replay, but looks like Arsenal and United are heading for Wembley at least once, imo.

Can't see that happening, City will have too much quality in front of the home fans.

ffs.. goes into law of averages story...

Wouldn't you have to take every draw we've ever had into account?

you could not be more wrong.

The chance of a home or away draw in the next round is in NO WAY WHATSOEVER influenced by the outcomes in previous rounds.

Before all four flips, the chances of getting 4 heads in a row was 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 1 in 16

After 3 flips have come up heads already, the chance of the FOURTH ONE coming up heads is 50/50

Nah lads.

Brennan.. I have been banned from a casino for using D'Alembert before now..


Imagine flipping a coin. If you get heads on one flip, you are equally likely to get heads on the next. There is always a 50/50 chance. The coin could land on heads 10,000 times in a row before you get a tails, or it could alternate with every flip.

If you flip a coin three times and get heads each time, is the probability of getting heads a fourth time in succession 50/50 ?

I'm guessing you're not reading maths at Uni are you lad ?
Each toss is independent of the previous toss ... so to speak.Excellent popcorning though

Indeed a revolutionary that's just been b*tch slapped

If there are 8 balls in the bag. The odds on you coming out first are 7-1. If you don't come out first, the odds on you coming out next are 6-1...then 5-1 etc. The only real 50-50 chance occurs when there are only two balls left. One being yours.

Just love it when the other lot get too big for their boots and are put in their place.

And lets hope you don't come across a stranger offering to buy your mum's prized cow for some magic beans

Yes, of course it is.

Everytime you flip a coin, its a 50/50 chance.

Actually no. You would think it is but it's statistically proven that it's something like 51-49 to the one side you place faceup before the toss.. not taking into account the freak chance that it will stay on the side.
