What do you mean? 1 in 20 is the same chance of occurrence as 5% Thats true but when you are rolling a 20 sided dice, each time you roll, you have a 5% chance of hitting 1-5, thats true, but if you roll the dice 20 times, the odds are so favorably the other way you probably will only roll a 1-5 once or twice.

Serious Cat 06/29/22 6:24:47 AM #26:	MICHALECOLE posted... Thats not how that works I dont think That's exactly how it works. A 5% chance means that it can be expected once every 20 times on average. It might happen once in any given range of 20 times, it might happen a few times, or none at all. It will most often happen once in those 20 times though. --- I are Serious Cat This is serious thread <cite>Serious Cat posted [p:966197072] in Would you ...
