Topic	Condoms only working 97% of the time seems like a low ball
The Popo 09/23/17 11:25:36 PM #7:	EclairReturns posted... The Popo posted... Isn't that equation also assuming that without a condom, sex would lead to pregnancy 100% of the time? Is it? All I know is that the geometric distribution models TC's scenario with the parameters: n = 98, p = 0.03. Well, I could be wrong here, but the success rate of a working condom would presumably be how often it prevents a fluid transfer, and not how often it prevents a pregnancy. The math equation should be correct, but we would also need to know how often unprotected sex leads to pregnancy in order to take it one step further. That's my take on it, at least. If anyone thinks I'm wrong on this, by all means, correct me. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:887172793] in Condoms on...
