Goodness!

Ok....

“Surely?”
Yup

“Why??”
Why not?

“Law of Probability?”
Yup

“What is THAT?”
Catch phrase for the application of mathematics to the stochastic processes of the universe.

“What DATA will you plug into this ‘law’ to test the assertion? “
What are your own assertions, and what data do you plug into them?

Einstinian mind experiment:

We have 45 numbers in our state Lotto® system (pulling 6 at a time).

In 12 years, the number 26 has NEVER been selected.

What is the PROBABILITY that it will not be selected again next week?
