My daughter was the first girl on my Dad's side of the family for 120 years.
Could listen to Hannah all day
The inverse of this happened in filming of "Run Lola Run". Near the emotional climax, Lola needed to get double zero on the Roulette table twice. She managed to get it in two spins so everybody's reaction on screen was genuine. They expected to be there all day.
Hannah, we hit the jackpot when you started making videos!
The minute she said the first sentence, I instinctively said "that's not how it works". Its one of the first things you have to learn as a financial trader. As the saying goes, "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"
My Niece is 12 and i show her Hannah's videos. and knowing that Hannah is now working for The Cambridge University so my niece now wants to go to Cambridge university so Hannah could be her professor there
My maths teacher once asked the class what the odds of a coin being heads is? The answer was of course 50/50. The teacher then asked the class βwhat if it was heads ten times in a row during previous flips?β. Amazingly, many in the class changed their answers to give tails a higher probability. I learned this lesson then.
Same thing happened to me in Vegas. After 5 reds in a row I jumped in betting on black, nope red again. I doubled my bet nope, red again. Doubled again, red again. Doubled one more time, lost again. I quit betting and just watched. It was red 18 times in a row. I'd never heard of The Gamblers Fallacy, but I lived it and it taught me a valuable lesson.
In reality, if that streak of black was the only knowledge you had of the wheel, I'd say it was actually more likely black would come up again, as the table may not actually have even odds at all.
Thank you YouTube for finding this channel.
Hannah has one of the most beautiful speaking voices in the television industry today. She could read the contents of a Haynes repair shop manual (Hillman Hunter 1970 to 1977) and it would be like listening to poetry.......if of course the poem was about amongst other things, changing the oil filter on a Hillman Hun......you get the picture.
The chances of getting 26 black in a row is the same as any other combination, just feels wrong to our wee brains
This lassie has a doppelganger in the Scottish Highlands. The lass that ran a burger van I used to frequent is her absolute spitting image. Crazy how alike they are, like identical twins really.π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
I love this lady. She makes math so UNDERSTANDABLE...its awesome
Probably the university class that was most notably and immediately useful to me was Probability Theory. Curbed my desire to bet on anything unless I can fix the result. π That was half a century ago. π±ππ Thank you Dr. Berman.
This assumes the roulette wheel hasn't been tampered with.
This used to be my favourite bit on Deal or No Deal. Guessing if the person was a "I'm due a blue" or a "I'm on a streak of reds" type of person.
In the past I have struggled to resolve an apparent conflict between the gambler's fallacy and regression to the mean. My simplistic concept was "Surely (if the wheel is fair) we should expect more reds in future to even out the run of blacks so it evens out to 50:50??" However I read a very good explanation of this recently, that pointed out the impact on the overall average, caused by a chance run of 26 blacks, is simply diluted into insignificance after a large enough number of subsequent spins. Taking this idea a little further you can see that over a million spins we should see close to 500k of each colour, but there is no force that can dictate which order the colours will appear in.
About time math sounded as charming as it truly is once more. Glad you are back.
