Comment on If you were to generated a completely random sequence of sounds, how long would it take to produce music or a voice?
If every outcome is equally likely, then the probably of any given outcome is approaching one in infinity…
Yes, that’s right. Which means that any specific outcome is essentially impossible to occur. But given infinite time, they all would occur.
Not necessarily. Roll a twenty-sided die twenty times, and you’re not guaranteed to roll every number.
Roll an infinite-sided die infinity times, and there’s no guarantee either.
