what is the probability of any arbitrary event in infinity? I think it should be certain, or otherwise, we didn’t reach infinity yet (by definition)
In: Mathematics
The parameters of a question have to be set up very formally – we must be very precise about what we’re asking – in order for math to have a firm answer for this.
Are you asking about the chance of something happening “given infinite tries?” Sometimes people ask what are the odds that somethinglike a gold watch just randomly assembles itself somewhere spontaneously in the universe, if we assume it’s an infinitely big place.
Or are you asking about the odds of a specific event in a *distribution* of infinitely many possible outcomes? This type of question might be expressed like: what are the odds of a dart landing at exactly (x,y) if thrown randomly at this area?
