second well.. i admit its my mistake .. i hurriedly went through the formula.. and saw the entire term 5+int/1000 in the denominator




thats wrong.. for obvious reasons.. just increase the sample size to 10000 and ull understand



umm.. thts incorrect.. according to me its 3/97 (not in percents)..considering independent multiple drops.. i hav seen quite a few



thanks for this
I seriously doubt your mathskills. I don't intend to hurt your feelings or whatever, U should put some effort into understanding the formula before posting. That is if u really do care about this issue.

3/97 is pretty much 3%. (3,09% to be exact). And again the formula was for "getting any medal at all", which would ignore multiple drops, and we would arrive at my original statement of 3% exactly.

Sample size is not included in the formula at all, so dunno what u are rambling about there.
