Surpriseegg-Probability-Calculator
"When do I have all figures?"
Surpriseeggs often contain sets of toy figures. Roughly, there's a
figure in each seventh egg. Suppose you want to have a complete figure
set of 10 figures, but you haven't the opportunity to swap duplicate
figures with other collectors: How many surpriseeggs would you have to
buy such that chance to get a complete set is better than the chance
not to get a complete set? The answer is: 189. Because, when you buy
189 surpriseeggs, the probability to get a complete set is 50.12%. Such
probabilities can be easily computed with the probability calculator on
this page.
The required input values are:
| Amount of eggs:
|
The amount of surpriseeggs
you're planning to buy. |
| Set size:
|
The desired set measures
this many figures. |
| Wanted figures: |
This many figures you're
still looking for. Example: When you're looking only for 6 figures of a
10 figure set because you already own 4 figures of the set, you got to
enter "6" here; but if you're still looking for the entire set, you got
to enter "10".
|
| Figure frequency:
|
Usually there's a figure in
each seventh egg, so you probably want to enter "7" here.
|
Once you entered all input data, press "Calculate
Probability". The probability by which all desired figures can be found
in the eggs bought will be printed below.
