Our Rules:

Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

are you sure it’s 26%? i’m arriving at around 57%, but maybe there’s a flaw in my reasoning

Its possible I made an error, I used 1 minus the cdf of the binomial distribution with n = 4 and p = 0.25 evaluated at 1, calculated from https://binomialdistributioncalculator.com/binomial-cdf-calculator/

huh. i did the same thing, but by hand…

oh wait no i see my mistake. you’re right, it’s about 26%. my bad 😅

@tensorpudding@lemmy.world is correct:

P(at least 2 gay) = 1 - P(0 gay) - P(exactly 1 gay)
= 1 - 0.75^4 - 4×0.25×0.75^3
= 1 - 0.31640625 - 0.421875
= 0.26171875
≈ 26%
