did this forum just become reddit or something ?  

Sorry.  I wanted to share the video, since it relates to comradekingu's post, but I suck at finding stuff sometimes.

On probabilities.

Some notes on the (rather...spurious) translation: "Probability" and "likelihood" is, in swedish, "Sannolikhet" (Truth-likeness, literally). "Truth" is "Sanning". That's the main pun missing in the translation - The gliding between "Truth" and "Truth-likeness". 

And when we in Sweden talk about "Harrisburg", we mean the Three Mile Island incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident)

A big thanks to everyone in this thread who have helped me calculate all the probabilities, and in turn have supported what is best for my sister (and her family).


She will be going ahead with her trip.


Thanks again all.

Probability- a measure of the likeliness that an event will occur

Statistics- the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data

statistics help predict probability but doesn't change the actual probability
