A math problem...

[swansonbb]

So who's up for a challenge? The prize - bragging rights. And I'll reveal what the answer looks like if anyone comes up with the right answer. Here we go:

You have 5 independent events. Each event has a single outcome. The probablility of a favorable outcome is 25%. What is the chance (in %) of 4 favorable outcomes?

I'll be waiting..

16%? I dunno, I'm pretty terrible at math nowadays.

Side note...I read this title as something completely different...let's just say I was like oh crap should this bbe in qt forum...

Edit...yea I screwed that up. Lol

Very curious as to what you thought it said.

Holy crap! Now let me ask you what that favorable outcome might be and I will try to figure this problem out! But I am not that great with math. There's gotta be a formula for this kinda thing.
