    Probability Rain
AI Thread Summary
The probability of no rain tomorrow is calculated as 70 percent, derived from a 30 percent chance of rain. This is determined using the formula P(no rain) = 1 - P(rain). The discussion briefly shifts to a tribute regarding Erin Moran's recent passing, reflecting on her life and impact. Participants express nostalgia and personal memories related to her. Overall, the focus remains on the probability calculation while also acknowledging a cultural moment.

There is a 30 percent chance of rain tomorrow. What is the probability of no rain tomorrow.

Solution:

Let P = probability

P(no rain tomorrow) = 1 - P(rain tomorrow)

P(no rain tomorrow) = 1 - 0.30

P(no rain tomorrow) = 0.70 or 70 percent

Right?

Thanks for the Fonzie picture. You know that Erin Moran died a few weeks ago.

Yeah...it was sad what became of her...but I can only hope she was relatively happy no matter her circumstances.

I had a crush on her back in the 70s. I was 12 years old and Erin 16 in 1977. I started liking girls beyond friendship level after turning 12.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
