Re: [Phys-L] probability question

[Diego Saravia <dsa@unsa.edu.ar>]

That is not a random experiment, you have not probability there.

what is the probability of getting 2 if you add 1 to 1?

if you specify a mean to calculate that number that have random errors
perhaps the answer is diferent.

that is my answer
