Default Re: How Do I Calculate This?

[ QUOTE ]
How much differentiation would you expect, in percent, between the two answers, since they are not independent events? Just so I have a rough idea.

In this case, you expect negative correlation. The maximum percentage of time you can be called is 60%, that's if no more than one player ever calls you. I would expect the actual answer to be between 49% and 60%, say 55%.

The other extreme, if the calls are completely positively correlated, is you could be called only 20% of the time, but always by all three other players.
