Okay, here's a thought experiment for your Friday:
Imagine you have two bowls of M&Ms. Bowl A has 10 M&Ms, 1 of which is red. Bowl B has 100 M&Ms, 8 of which are red.
Which bowl would you pick from if you wanted to get a red M&M? Most people go for Bowl B. But if you actually do the math, Bowl A gives you a 10% chance, while Bowl B is only an 8% chance.
Wild how our brains try to trick us into thinking bigger numbers automatically mean better odds, huh?
