RE: Probability Theory for Dummies or How to Win Throughout Your Life?
Good one.
Police also use probability theory. I will never forget the night I was pulled over, simply for not taking the main road (my house is near a back lane, and sometimes the quickest way for me to get home is take the back way)...
Late at night, on the way home from a night out, I pulled off the main drag, and was followed immediately by a police officer. Upon being pulled over, and eventually let go, free to go home... I asked the police officer "why did you pull me over?"
The response?
"We work off probabilities. Statistically, if a driver is pulling off a main rd, into a laneway etc etc, they are doing something wrong, or have something to hide..."
Something to think about....
@darknet, where do you live?
I'm glad your police take statistics and probability into account. Because here, in Russia, the only thing road police considers is level of your car and probably size of your wallet
I am in Australia. We live in a nanny state. I may do a post on this in the near future.
don't forget to share with me, because I dream to travel there for a long time, but tickets are too expensive
Funny, because I would like to travel to Russia! ;-)
Maybe we can do a house swap one day!? :P
One day swap is not enough to see Australia and especially Russia. We'll have to do house swap for a month)
That works for me! ;-)
So thats how this probability works out, interesting.
