The probability is 1. If the maximum number of hairs is 100000 then there can be only 100000 people, each with a different number of hairs: 1, 2, 3, ..., 100000. Then the 100001st person must have the same number as someone in that list. Since the population of NYC is greater than 100001, then the event is a certainty.

What would be the theoretical probability of rolling a die 50 times and rolling a 2?

The probability of rolling at least one 2 in fifty rolls of a standard die is 1 - (5/6) 50, or about 0.99989012. This calculation starts by looking at the probability of not rolling a 2, which is 5/6. To repeat that 50 times in a row, you simply raise that to the 50th power, getting 0.000109885. Then you subtract the result from 1 to get the probability of not succeeding in not rolling a 2 in fifty tries. Expressed in normal "odds" notation, this is about (100000 - 11) in 100000, or about 99989 in 100000.


How many 6 digit numbers are there in all?

999999-100000=899999numbers * * * * * Not quite. SInce 100000 is also a 6-digit number, the correct answer is 999999 - 100000 + 1 = 900000

What is 100000 plus 20 percent?

100000 + 20% = 100000 + (20/100)(100000) = 100000 + (.2)(100000) = 100000 + 20000 = 120,000
