Random Fact!

Thing is, we're bordering on existentialism and meta-physics now.

There IS a chance you could roll a six-sided die and it land on 7. The chance is unbelievably zero, but it isn't zero is it. It's like saying the chance of tomorrow being Friday is 1.... it isn't EXACTLY 1. To do with accuracy vs. sillyness.

Can I just say that it's a really boring fact and no-one cares?

The probability of throwing a dice and getting a 7?

You haven't really thought this through, have you?

It is you that has not thought (read: cannot think?) this though. There is a small chance that you can roll a six sided dice and get a seven, as there may be a seventh side that you cannot see that presents itself after you throw the dice.

No, he's completely wrong. A probability space consists of a triplet (A,B,u), where the probability measure u is a map from B (a sigma algebra corresponding to the sample space A) to the closed interval [0,1]. In paritcular, the sigma algebra is defined to contain the empty set, the measure of which is zero.

Apologies for derailment. Fact: the written exam was invented at Cambridge University.
