Joe: "2- With respect to natural selection it means that not all individuals have the same probability of being eliminated. That is what makes natural selection non-random"
Joe, randomness does not require all outcomes to be equal. That is equiprobable, a subset of random that has a uniform probability distribution.
The odds of any outcome of the summation of two dice is not equiprobable (some are more likely that others) but is random.
And thus Joe fails at probability |
In "What Evolution Is" Ernst Mayr said that natural selection is non-random because not every organism has the same probability of being eliminated.
Then we have: random
2.
Statistics. of or characterizing a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen.
Richie Hughes is just an ignorant fuck |
Do you think that " when throwing two dice and counting the total, we can say that a sum of 7 will randomly occur twice as often as 4", Joe?
