stats question

[vetran]

if you jump off a tall building, the chances you can fly are X
if you jump with five mates, the chances of one of you flying is higher ?

its higher but still infinitesimally small. That is how evolution works, enough people throw themselves off buildings then one of them who has a deformity such as webbed fingers survives and impregnates all the females.

just doing the experiment affects the the results of doing the experiment

So if I experiment coming home drunk its a different result if Mrs BP is there or not?
