No there isn't. There's a probability of them matching
the expected values.
Diid you even read what you wrote, shithead?
The 'probability of them matching expected values" is a statistical term,
meaning the confidence that something that is ,say , 10% likely will happen
10% of the time.
That has nothing to do with the expected likelihood of the event.


Your terminology is just wrong. Can you quote any
reference that supports your terminology?

Shithead, just because you're clueless, doesn't mean I'm going to go cite
something.

Thought as much. GG.
You didn't think at all.
You ignored the math, you ignored the problem, you ignored the principle of
indifferennce, and you ignored largely that Wuzzy needed the impossible,
maximum bias towards heads AND tails.
