Question

What are the odds of calling the right outcome 15 out of 16 times?

Answer 1

7% chance

Answer 2

depends how many possible individual outcomes there are. if you are talking about coin flips, it's lower than if you are talking about dice rolls.

if you are talking about calling "lose" in poker hands, it's possible to be 1:1.

Answer 3

On the flip of a coin, 32768 to 1. To get 15 correct in a row. Which is 0.0030517%

524288 to 1 if you want 15 out of 16 but thats giving the odds of the incorrect choice being any of the 16 times

Answer 4

depends on the odds of what your calling

Answer 5

It depends on what you're calling the odds on.

For example, the chance of making a correct call on a coin is 1/2, but on a standard die it's 1/6, on the national lottery it's 1/14,000,000.

Assuming it's on the call of a coin, there's a 6.25% chance of guessing it correctly in sequence, on a die, the odds are 1.04%.
