- Comment on 50% survival rate 4 days ago:
Or do think there’s something special about the person that makes them flip tails more often?
Yes, that’s the conclusion that the scientist has come to. The chance of getting 20 in a row is so extraordinarily unlikely that it’s reasonable to conclude that the chance is not 50/50 for that particular surgeon.
- Comment on 50% survival rate 5 days ago:
The normal person thinks that because the last 20 people survived, the next patient is very likely to die.
The mathematician considers that the probability of success for each surgery is independent, so in the mathematician’s eyes the next patient has a 50% chance of survival.
The scientist thinks that the statistic is probably gathered across a large number of different hospitals. They see that this particular surgery has an unusually high success rate, so they conclude that their own surgery has a >50% chance of success.

The photo on the left is with makeup; the photo on the right is without. On the leftmost image the lips are more saturated and have more defined edges, and there is more shadow around the eyes.
