190 equipment cases


(Atagi) #1

I opened 190 equipment cases. I want to share the results here.

Lead: 150 - 78,95 %
Iron: 25 - 13,16 %
Bronze: 13 - 6,84 %
Silver: 2 - 1,05 %

No Gold , Special Edition or Cobalt. The rate seems to be almost right. The bronze was more than double.

It’s not “almost right”, it’s right.

If it would be right then the Bronze would be only 3%. Thats why I wrote almost right.


(Jostabeere) #4

And that’s why you can’t take probabilities as flat-rate.

3% ≠ You will get guaranteed 3 bronze cards for every 100 cases you open.
3% = You have 3% chance to get a bronze card from a single case.

This.

Sadly, there’s no guarantee you’ll get any card better than Lead. Technically, you can get 100 leads in a row, though the probability for this is very low. RNG is exactly that, completely fucking random because it goes by each case.

Difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability.

It’s not almost right. Cobalt = -500% chance.

As with all random chances the probability is reset for each time you open a case so you could have opened them all and got all lead.

Possible, but pretty unlikely to happen in your, mine and the OPs life time with case openings:

0.797^190 = 1.89269688*10^-19 = 0.000000000000000000189269688

0.0000000000000000189269688% is low…

What’s the point of this…? Are you trying to ‘prove’ that the odds aren’t correct…? Cause 190 cases definitely isn’t enough trials to prove anything.

BTW I did this with over 1700 crates. The results are within confidence interval.

But I still dont have a single cobalt^^


(HunterAssassin5) #13

thing is, people usually just…how do i put it…think in one direction, i guess, when it comes to percentage.
people think that a 0.1% to score a cobalt will eventually become 1% if they roll the dice enough.
thing is, you started off with a 99.9% chance to not score a cobalt, why is it that you can get to 99% chance to not score a cobalt? following the same line of reason, you should get something like a 99.99% chance instead.

TL;DR

3% ≠ You will get guaranteed 3 bronze cards for every 100 cases you open.
3% = You have 3% chance to get a bronze card from a single case.[/quote]
