MaxGraviton: And that it's certainty means you'll never consider it? Probability is between 0 and 1. Some redefine it, except you want to recreate your own maths. Use wikipedia or wolfram and you'll see probability is defined as between 0-1. You shouldn't even be arguing that. 0 is not a valueless number. If it was, it wouldn't have been created. Anyways,Maths itself explains things in nature, so you can't separate it from real world applications. Combination and permutation have real world applications; it's in this sense that you have to consider the 5,0. Don't try to play a fast one. Anyways, see how others have solved similar problems. Your reasoning in this regard can't supported. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080708101257AACtrGL http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1183067/forming-a-committee-but-there-must-be-more-or-equal-amount-of-female-to-males |

MaxGraviton: You are not wrong and i didn't say that you were. Arguing from a common sense perspective, you are correct. But maths doesn't derive from these kinds of argument. Maths is based on numbers, that's why a number called zero was created. The probability of an event can be 0. The mere fact that such event can't happen is not enough reason not to consider it or its probability. This is the reason you have to consider 5>0 in order to give a complete solution. If you had to solve this question in order to explain something in nature, the incompleteness of your solution will definitely show if you didn't consider that last possibility. Maybe. Maybe a reasonable person will ask where the women are. But a mathematician will not. Especially as you had started from 3,2; 4,1. 5,0 is a natural in that sequence. Especially as the question doesn't limit you. Clearly 5men is greater than 0 women. 0 is a number, don't forget. Not a word. |

MaxGraviton: He has to be right. In maths, you don't think it half of the way. You must think it through. If there were no women in the committee, the number of men will still be greater than the number of women, i.e. 5>0. And that's a valid mathematical statement, except of course the question introduced the condition that "there must be at least 1 woman". |

Firstly i had to put that in quote; take it i didn't say it. Isn't it just irritating, unrefined and reminiscent of all that is mucous and phlegmy, that word, "Hian!"? Who started this thing and why has it become so commonplace among the female folk in Nigeria? It would seem to me that the people who use this word are from the very backwaters of the Nigerian society. Gurgle: Mznaett: ladyF: MizMyColi: siegfried99: Shaadey: |

Politics / Punishment After A Crime by Antoinne: 8:28am On Jul 24, 2015 |
One of the most basic theories of criminology maintains that when there is a crime, punishment should follow. If in a society there is a crime without commensurate punishment, then such society runs the risk of disintegration. Thus, every functioning society must have a set of punishments which have been generally agreed as consequence for potential crimes. Even though these punishments may not be mentioned, everyone is well aware, even if only passively, of such punishments that may be met out for crimes committed. A god wins his people's faithfulness using this cardinal criminology theory. Hence, sinners will not go unpunished. A pastor wins his congregation's ardent followership, in so far as they are continually reminded of excommunication for "crimes" (or sins) against the church. Unfortunately in the Nigerian society crimes are going unpunished. Traffic laws are not obeyed nor are fines instituted or enforced. Sexual assault, domestic violence and battery are not punished by courts, neither are the perpetrators jailed following revelations they actually committed these crimes. Instead, what you have are endless court cases that eventually end in ridiculous bails. This debacle doesn't stop here. The political lot who have done more harm than repeated bouts of Ebola epidemics also enjoy same ridiculous bail conditions for obvious crimes that they should have been jailed for. As long as Nigeria continues to disobey this cardinal rule of criminology, the country will continue to perpetuate a society whose fabric is loose, in tatters and unable to sustain sensible human living. What do you think? |

Politics / Re: Is Donald Trump Pulling A Nigerian 419 Scam? - James Altucher by Antoinne: 8:52am On Jul 23, 2015 |
The author doesn't even know a dot about the so-called Nigerian 419 scam. If this is his explanation of the Nigerian fraud, then he certainly needs more education on it. Finally, it does look like he's the one pulling the wool over our eyes. The Nigerian 419 strategy is to have a misspelled email from the son of some deceased Prince who needs all your bank info in order to release $20 million that he will eagerly split with you. |
Career / Seven Irrelevant Things An Average Nigerian Youth In: Positive Social Networking by Antoinne: 8:09am On Jul 23, 2015 |
Today, an article came up on the front page of Nairaland describing the many irrelevant things Nigerian youths engage in. The author highlighted a number of vices the Nigerian youth enthusiastically embraces. As sorry as these are, there is arguably no doubt some element of truth can be found sprinkled around the writer's thesis. Many a Nigerian youngster have become so carried away with by modern advances that they take their influence for granted. It is especially unnerving to find them incredibly preoccupied with social media to the extent of self-annihilation. They chat, whatsapp and facebook to stupor, leaving room for no other mind-engaging activities. While it's completely in order to socialize and, perhaps, use the services of these many social networking, getting constantly lured to the same services or suffering from an addiction that doesn't permit letting go off a smartphone for two seconds puts the affected on a path towards what Nigerians have termed, "mumuity". In other words, you become a real "mumu". Social networks can be used for something good, if indeed you want to. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are not all there are. Below are a list of social networks you should subscribe to and subsequently make good use of if indeed you seek to develop yourself. Perhaps if the number of Nigerians on these other websites neared only half the multitude on the three big giants mentioned earlier, this country might just have the necessary human resources it needs to liberate itself from the intellectual abyss it has since remained in. [url=stackexchange.com]Stackexchange[/url] Stack Exchange is a network of question and answer websites on topics in varied fields, each site covering a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process.

You can do several topics of math, science, and engineering on this social website. AoPs Community AoPs is the Art of Problem Solving. It's a huge online community where you can take maths problems that are continually bugging. You can write friends in the community and enjoy watching a host of persons take on your maths problems and in the end provide an explanation you just will find helpful Quora Quora is a question-and-answer website where questions are asked, answered, edited and organized by its community of users. At this present web moment, if you are not using Quora then there really is something incredibly wrong. And not just use Quora like you use Facebook, but taking advantage of the myriad of fields on offer to learn more about mathematics, philosophy, psychology and other fascinating subjects that develop the mind. If you do not know these websites already, now is the time to check them out. While you do that, also visit JStor for valuable books and papers on practically any subjects. Don't just waste your lives using the internet negatively; don't get all too entrapped by who's the second person to be verified on Instashit. Give yourself some brain and use the power of the internet wisely! |
