with an effectiveness of 95% per condom, then you would have a total effectiveness of DAT 190%.

Well, according to the statistics, there is a 5% chance of having a child per condom. If you use 2 condoms, you have a 10% chance of having a child.

Therefore, with 2 condoms, you are more effective at improving the chance of having a child.

.95 * .95 = 90.25 percent chance both don't break
.95 * .05 = 4.75 percent chance second breaks but first stays intact
.05 * .95 = 4.75 percent chance first breaks but second stays intact
.05 * .05 = 0.25 percent chance you are fucked

Whelp.

Using two condoms makes the condoms more likely to break because of the friction between the two condoms.

So, theoretically he could be right.

11/22/2010 8:19:42 PM

Who uses condoms anyway?

11/22/2010 8:20:31 PM

first of all if you wear more than one condom at a time you run the risk of breaking both

also probabilities don't add up like that; instead it's more like they multiply (if the events are independent), so if multiple condoms worn simultaneously did not affect each other (rather than rubbing against and tearing each other), the chance of having a child would be 0.05*0.05=0.0025, or a quarter of a percent, and the effectiveness would be 99.75%

btw if events are disjoint then the probabilities add up
like the probability, upon rolling a fair die, of getting a multiple of 3 is 1/3 and of getting a 1 is 1/6, so of getting a 1 or a multiple of 3 is 1/3+1/6=1/2

These numbers don't make sense.

If you have a 90.25% that you're not fucked by using 2 condoms, then you have a 9.75% chance that you are fucked.

But then you later state that you have a 0.25% chance that you are fucked.

11/22/2010 8:26:09 PM

.05 * .05 = .0025 = .25%

^^ 100-90.25=9.75%

right?

11/22/2010 8:30:21 PM

^ no, buddy. you have a 90.25% chance that both don't break. and a 9.25% chance that at least one breaks. "At least one" does not mean, however, that both break.

put another way:
90.25% chance that 0 break.
9.5% chance that 1 breaks but the other doesn't.
.25% chance that both break.

You are only fucked if both break. statistics, man. learn it

11/22/2010 8:30:51 PM

90.25+ 2(4.75) + .25 = 100

right?

11/22/2010 8:34:13 PM

Trick question!

If you need 2 condoms you should avoid that ho anyways hence a 100% chance of effectiveness! duh!

11/22/2010 8:34:46 PM

^^^^^ Wrong.

9.25/2=4.625

.95*.05=4.75% /= 4.625%

^^^^ So when you fuck, you use 2 condoms?

I'm not black, if that's what you're referring to

and 9.75 - .25 = 9.5 not 9.25

and 9.5/2 = 4.75

11/22/2010 8:34:49 PM

yeah, corrected a math error. try again

Statistics, learn it.

Actually drop dead kate is wrong. She's assuming they are independent events.

I'm pretty sure each condom has some effect on the other ripping.
