Woohoo I love my iPhone! I'm playing with it now, waiting for my stats class to start and I realized that I can blog on my iPhone! Of cos only if there is wifi available which can hardly be found in new York city... So low tech...
Talk about my stats class. I seriously think my stats professor is turning senile. He is teaching us probability and he can't even answer the questions on his own powerpoint slides.
Question: if you roll a die 10 times, what is the probability that you will roll at least one '6'?
His answer: 1/6. Because all you need is one 6, hence the probability of that is 1/6. The later rolls doesn't matter anymore hence 1/6 is the answer.
I was speechless. Even ian loo could get this question right.. Ian was my math disciple back in acsi days, along with ben wai and Raphael who all did very well for their o levels I think. My memory is fuzzy. Anyway that's not the point. The point is that I'm a fantastic teacher. Hehe at least I'm better than my stats professor... Unbelievable...
