Statistical modeling.
And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.
Same here; what're the odds?
About 50/50. Either you are or you aren't.
But what are the exponential odds?
50^2 / 50^2
I'd approach it logically.
If 50/50 = you are / you aren't
Then
(50/50)^2 = you are are / you are aren't / you aren't are / you aren't aren't
Applying the locig gates AND : 25%. OR : 75%. XOR : 50% NAND : 75% NOR: 25% XNOR : 50%
The results average at 50/50.
Likewise, so higher than we thought lol.
the base of my exponential function is 1
