Apa itu risk?

Risk is defined by permutation, combination, event,probability, frequency, chance, likelihood, personal probability, Bayesian probability, random variable, variate, expectation, random process, stochastic process, sample space, population, probability distribution function, probability density function, probability mass function, spectral density function, moments of random variable, normal distribution, binomial distribution, geometric distribution, statistical analysis, statistic, confidence, skewness, kurtosis, covariance, correlation etc.

We managed to come out with methods to calculate a percentage of an event to happen. (say a car crash, anak bulan, or pope becomes a father.)

example1 : A car that installed our product when speeding at 140km/h have 20% chances of skidding.
example2 : A car that installed our product when speeding at 140km/h have 50% chances of skidding.

the question is whether the event/accident will happen or not happen.

does it looks like chances of everything to happen is 50-50 regardless of the calculated percentage?

or am i alone?

well.. no. some situations, some things are more likely to happen than not. like, put fish in front of a cat that likes to eat fish.. and the cat is very much likely to eat the fish than to just walk away. that's not 50-50 anymore now is it?

more likely doesnt mean it will 100% happen. true higher percentage will increase the potential or likelihood of an event to happen. but it boils down to whether it will happen or not.

eg: in a bowl there're 80 blue colored balls and 20 red colored balls. so the chances to get blue colored ball is 80 % and 20% for the red one. so more likely you'll get 4 blue balls out of 5 picks. (correct me if im wrong, my math sucks) so each time u pick the ball it's either you get blue ball or red ball although the chances of getting blue ball is very much higher.

looks still 50-50 to me. =(maybe this is why i almost failed my risk and probability subject =(

it's 2:11am. She is sleeping. I'm thinking. now it's 2:12am. Im listening to 'all i need' . I'm hitting backspace again and again. There's a notification blinking on the screen. There's a picture of audrey hepburn on the wall. I had just googled audrey hepburn just to make sure the spelling is correct. The song is going to end. I'm wondering what song to choose. ok it has ended. I'm sleepy. But sleep is .. shit youtube lag. the song was choppy, like when chinamen talks, they chop every words. I'm not high. I'm not drunk. Im not smoking. I dont smoke anymore. anyless. fitter. happier. more productive. try saying that in a robotic voice. The baby guitar is dusty. rusty. The cameras are there. fully aware. There are prints of flowers on the curtain. Not my favourite. I prefer blinds. The flowers are shaped like an eye. Illuminati? free mason? obsession? I should be learning dutch by now. But i chose sigur ros instead. They are not dutch. Hop

Hustle and bustle in Den Haag, Netherlands.

 While on work trip in Netherlands, I happened to be in Den Haag (The Hague). This time i brought a small and discreet camera with me. I used Ricoh GRII . While still in a trial and error stage, these are few shots that I personally like. Given that the camera is in the form of compact cam, it is less intimidating for the subject and increase the chances of they being natural and carry on with their life.
