OK this is a weird problem.. how do i do this??? is there a trick to it?? I get the answer =1/8
Numbers 1 through 8 are written on a peice of paper. A monkey is made to pick a number (one at a time) UNTIL it picks an even number. What is the probability that the number monkey picks is an 8??

Having taken various college point information classes, i might tend to question any statistical effects published everywhere. there are this way of good form of vairables that for the main area, information are beside the point in serving as a correct predictor of a lot of something.
