Even with his gumpian version he still didn't understand the concept of percentages. 3 is 60% of 5. So technically it would be 40% more DBs from UGA in the NFL as opposed to Tennessee. 100%-60%=40%. Bottom line, hopefully someone is managing his money for him.

He based it off of a 166% increase from UT to uga. Your example is actually incorrect because you are only factoring in those that made it in and leaving out the rest. 30% of UT dbs make it to the nfl if 3/10. 50% make it in if uga 5/10. That's a 20% better chance out of all dbs. If you only count those that make it to the nfl it is a 40% chance difference as you stated. If it were based off of increase from ut to uga, it would be a 166% increase (3 vs 5) but would be a 40% difference in chances for successful dbs only.

Understand what both sides are saying, and it's pointless either way.
A schools production always has and always will change with the staff. Right now, those staffs are 0 to 0.

I'm seriously stunned that there are that many of you that don't understand probability. Lol
Change your total population to 100 NFL Dbs. So now 5% are Dawgs and 3% are Vols. So you are 2% more likely to make an NFL roster right? Nope. Regardless of the n / total population, it's 66% more likely. 50% vs 30%, 5% vs 3%. Still 66% greater chance. Probability is a comparative stat.
It's seriously laughable how many of y'all don't get it.

Your issue is context, not math. You think he was referring to percent increase. He is referring to chances you fleet into the bfl period based off the team choice. If you were to choose one school or the other, the chances getting to the nfl is a 20% increase for uga.

So you want to talk in terms of probability now? Which had not been brought up before? Seriously, it's laughable that you are even here. You're annoying. Go away.

That's the new generation for you. They are clueless as to when they are wrong and then attempt to mask their deficiencies by projecting them on others. And I would love to hear people verbally explain their brand of math in person. My late night laziness doesn't allow me to engage in long drawn out arguments with paragraphs of information as to why guys like Doubledoosh have the IQ of slingblade.

Me too. Never saw a baseline. Just saw his simpleton 3 DBs vs 5 DBs while not factoring in total DBs in the league. Everyone but seemingly him can agree it was pointless stat. I would rank the stat that 58.7% of stats are made up off of the Hooters wet nap as having more credibility than anything DoubleDoosh has brought to us this evening.

Yo CPA if I have three dollars and find two more on the street, then I have had a 40 % increase right? 40 % more I believe is exactly what you said. LMAO

$3 x 1.4 equals what Arthur Anderson ?

You never had a baseline you imbecile. It's a pointless stat. Completely different scenario. 66% increase in your annual income and 40% more money in your portfolio than you had before you hit up the couple coming out of the gas station for 2 bucks. Arthur Anderson doesn't exist anymore. So now we can tack on that you are clueless about current events as well.

You are funny. Baseline. It's 3. A 66% increase would make it 5. You apparently didn't pick up the joke re: AA. They went out of business from the Enron scandal. Know why? Couldn't do math.

So there are only 8 DBs in the league? There is no joke other than you junior. And unfortunately you haven't evolved to where you walk upright to see it.

Demise was not due to their inability to do math, but rather the way AA failed to fulfill ethical and professional responsibilities in connection with its Enron audits. They basically saw that Enron was running a shell but did nothing, since they'd lose Enron's business.

The costs for the actions of a few were paid for by many. Since Enron, ethical and financial standards were revised to make sure Enron doesn't happen again. Nothing to do with AA's ability to run numbers. More of they looked the other way.

Pick however many Dbs there are in the league as you would like and my number stays constant. You seriously can't be a CPA. Pick 200, pick 500 as n.

At n=200, UGA has 66% more than UT. At n=500, UGA has 66% more than UT.



I like the insults and name calling as you have discovered I'm right.

PSA. Maybe this guy can do your taxes , but I wouldn't bet on it. It would really suck if I bought Apple at $100 , it shot up to 166, but then my accountant broke the news to me that I only had a 40% gain.

You're right of course, but my version fit my "narrative".

DoubleDouche, maybe you understand English but I wouldn't bet on it. Your initial comment, which fed this lengthy tangent, stated that a Georgia defensive back had a "66% better chance" of making the NFL than a Tenn defensive back. No mention was made of what greater % of defensive backs Georgia had than Tennessee. You have restructured your argument as this now exhausted tangent has continued. Don't you have people on a Georgia forum to annoy the hell out of?

Google "synonym for probability" you Moran. Chance is probability. There's nothing to restructure. I didn't make those numbers up and honestly don't know if they are even factual. That was my reply to a vol who said UGA has 5 and UT has 3. Using his numbers, I'm correct. In the real world, who the heck knows. It was my tongue in cheek remark to him and not serious. What is serious is the lack of education on this thread.

I'm done talking with you and the mathematically challenged CPA. May God bless his business. He's going to need it.

When you get tired of living off of the government, give me a call. Remember I like my coffee black.
