What are the odds of this happening at a public parking place?
They are actually pretty good. Also I think some of the black ones might be blue.

Marthirial@lemmy.world 1 week agoEvery car, except for one (and not by much) is one of four colors: black, gray, red (also kind of specific red hue) and white.
What are the odds of this happening at a public parking place?
Lets see, 80 visible cars and only one of them is blue.
Given that blue cars make up about 8% of those on the road, the odds of a random assortment of 80 having only 1 blue car is about 5/32, or just a bit under 16%.
So, unlikely, but not notably so. Given that there are about 140 million cars in use in the US, if we grouped them all into random sets of 80 cars we’d expect to get 265,500 sets with 1 blue car.
Pretty high I would imagine. Aren’t those the most common car colors?

Pretty fucking high. That’s like four of the most common car colors.
