Are you aware that 0.001% of 1000 is less than 1? That's why one would suspect you didn't write what you mean.My question is this. If there are a thousand people and .001 percent get a dollar, how many people get that dollar, then, if 1000 people in a different group are 25 times more likely to get a dollar, how many will get that dollar?
Still doesn't make sense to me. Is it a .001 chance or .001% ? As Dr P said 0.001% of 1000 is less than 1.If you get a shot you have only a .001 of getting sick, ...
You may want to show us your actual question, rather than changing it to one that makes little sense. We might actually be able to help. (And it sounds like the real question is far more interesting.)I was looking a placebo vs live culture percents and likelihood of infection and illness. So "probability" would make sense. The question made sense to me when I wrote it. I didn't think through the question fully but I have made sense of it.
