The probability of me getting married
The probability of me wanting to marry = 0.1 ====> (N)
i.e., on an average, for only about 2 hrs a day I think marrying isn't that big a mistake. For the rest of the hours, am a hard-core misogamist.
The probability of me liking a girl
i.e., me meeting a likable girl = 0.3 ====> (O)
(Who said beggars are not choosers?)
The probability of a girl liking me = 0.2 ====> (W)
(When beggars can choose, why wont others?)
For a long time. I was of the opinion that, the set of girls whom I like and the set of girls who would like me are mutually exclusive, keeping my hope of staying a bachelor pretty high. But, some girls-I-like have managed to insinuate that they liked me too. But, damn it! Why do they say that after they getting engaged or married?
So, most importantly, the probability of
a girl-liking-me being unmarried = 0.1 ====> (A)
And finally, the probability of
my probability-calculations being right= 0.1 ====> (Y) :D
So, the probability of me getting married = N*O*W*A*Y
= 0.1*0.3*0.2*0.1*0.1
= 0.00006
Should I be worried?
PS: I request you to restrain your curiosity to know who taught me probability.
