There is a probability that Macron will win 100% to 0%Originally posted by sasguru View Post

There is also a probability that Le Pen will win 100% to 0%
The reality is both of those probabilities will be nearly zero - but as they are both viable outcomes they will not be zero.
The reality is that the answer will be nearer to a Macron win with a say 55% to 45% margin therefore the probability this is what happens is close to 1 - but it will not be 1 because it is not a guarantee.
But I guess I have answered a question you did not ask.Comment

Can't speak for PM & BP, but I used to buy five lines most Saturdays. I rarely buy any these days since the price per line doubled.
As most of the proceeds supposedly go to charity and causes not otherwise funded, arguably the "chavs" are actually virtuous, public spirited people! (although most, including myself, are motivated solely by greed
)

Nothing's changed since you struggled at school.
Neither will Brexit suddenly enhance your IQ - losers before Brexit will be losers after.
Hard Brexit now!

I must remember to understand the difference between probability and possibility.
Well at least someone does!Comment
