Question 1042724
.
<pre>
How strange are coincidences? Suppose an event has a 1 in 500 chance of happening each day. 
Won't you be surprised if it occurs?                                                               - Yes,  I  will.
But approximately what is the probability that this event will happen sometime in the next year?     {{{365/500}}}.
(Hint: Assume independence, and find the probability that it will not occur in the next year.      -  I need not this hint.
Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A catastrophe always happens suddenly. And unexpectedly.  (the law I deduced myself).


Otherwise it is not a catastrophe.
