This isn’t true right?:
On Tik Tok I heard a guy ask, “If you would be paid $1 Billion dollars to go on a water slide with a 1% chance of dying, would you? What it there were a hundred people in the room, so one of you was definitely going to die?”
This is a logical fallacy correct? He’s thinking that adding 99 more people to the equation would make one of them have a higher than 1% chance of dying. That doesn’t seem right. All of them still have a 99% chance of living, so most probably none of them will die.
And this is taught in college right, or is the logical fallacy very prevalent?
