Friday Quiz. What is the unconditional mathematical expected duration between departure and time to destination between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing? How about a flight between Rio de Janeiro and Paris?

ANSWER: Infinite. A very tiny probability of crash makes the unconditional expectation infinite.
All other answers with finite duration are conditional on the plane eventually making it to destination.

Some DUers actually understand mathematics. This reads like woo-woo word salad.

Sorry.

On edit: interesting that this would be posted in Good Reads.

2. Depends

On whether it's an African or European Swallow and how big the coconut that they're carrying is.

4. Sometimes the median is a better measure than the mean.

5. So unconditionally, no flight can ever be late.

But what about my luggage?
