You can't apply this with higher numbers, and we're talking higher here. That's why I chose 200 instead of 100 games. So statistically, the 10% chance of you correctly guessing will average down, and it won't be 10% anymore.
Same how 1:10 won't be 1:10 if there are 200 choices but it will be 1:200.
How can you not understand this concept?
Your and HeexX ''intelligent'' math discussion started when you just stated an example that some people play internet games in their free time and some people laugh at fans of a person. This statement is true. After that your ridiculous math discussion starts where you both misunderstand each others post, and both pull number out of nowhere.
HeexX is wrong when he says that there's 10% chance to guess what online game someone is playing, just because there's about 10% of the online players that play DotA (which is correct).
If someone is guessing what GAME a person is playing, then the percentage chance of guessing correct is very low, as there is LOTS of online games to chose from. If however, someone is guessing what game a person is probably playing, THEN, guessing at DotA being the game, is a probable guess.
10% of online gamers playing dota does not equal there being 10% CHANCE for a person to play the game unless we're only talking about the most popular 10 games since after top 10, the percentages of those games being played are below 1% anyway.
HeexX: How many % of a number of online players playing a game does not equal the % of chance guessing what game a person is playing, unless the 10% of the total pool of online players people playing dota is derived from a statistic of 10 games total. Lets say you have 500 games and 10% of those PEOPLE playing all those 500 games play dota. That means 50 people out of 500 play Dota, however, it does not mean that there's 10% chance of guessing correctly if you guess at Dota, since there are 500 games in total and not 10. That gives you a 1 in 500 chance (0.2%) of guessing correctly as there are 500 options to choose from.
It all depends whether you are guessing what game someone is playing, or what the probability of the online gamer playing a certain game is. I mean you could pick out a pool of 30 people from the total pool of ALL online players and 15 of those might play Dota, that doesn't mean you have a 50% chance of guessing that they play Dota.
You can't apply this with higher numbers, and we're talking higher here. That's why I chose 200 instead of 100 games. So statistically, the 10% chance of you correctly guessing will average down, and it won't be 10% anymore.
You elbowtheice are incorrect because you are confusing the number of games with the number of people playing a game. He's talking about the stastically average of 100 PEOPLE playing a game, not the statistical average of what game of 100 or 200 games are being played.
You are both talking about the two different things but replying to each other as if you are talking about the same thing which just makes both of you look stupid.
He is correct that if you ask for example 15 out of the total number of people what game they are playing, and then you ask lets say 1900 of the total number of people what game THEY are playing, the answers of the 1900 number of people will be closer to statistical average of 10% playing dota, since 1900 is closer to the total number of people playing games than 15.
The higher amount of people you ask, the closer you will get to the statistical average of those people playing a game.
I'm sorry if you're so intellectually inferior and don't understand my above-average intelligence.
This guy has to be fucking trolling? But by the the obvious fixation of Joe Rogan I seriously doubt he's a troll.
LOL Dota is the most played game on the Internet. This is pretty much like saying I was on facebook yesterday. Your intelligence level is showing. :icon_lol:
"Lets state something without any basis whatsoever as a fact"
Just by using a search function called ''Google'' I found out that League of Legends (shitty game) is actually the most played game on the internet.
Second is World of Warcraft, and third is Minecraft. Dota isn't even in the fucking top10, but hey, dota is the most played game on the internet, right? But personally speaking I think it should be because it's one of the best PC games in the world IMO.
