Could you tell me what kind of process this is and how to calculate the probability of 5 consecutive events in 24 hours?&lt;p&gt;-&amp;gt; engine: It sounds like you are describing a Bernoulli process. In a Bernoulli process, there are only two possible outcomes for each trial: success or failure. The probability of success is constant from trial to trial, and the trials are independent, meaning that the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of any other trial.&lt;p&gt;Here are some results on how to calculate probability of consecutive successes in a bernouli trial (result list follows)&lt;p&gt;(Note: if you try to ask this from ChatGPT it will not actually give you a correct answer for the calculation itself as there are some subtleties in the problem. But search results of &amp;quot;bernoulli process&amp;quot; will tend to contain very reliable information on the topic)&lt;p&gt;Edit: You could even just say &amp;quot;could you give me good search queries to use for the following problem&amp;quot; and use the results of that.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>m3kw9</author><text>My experience is that gpt gives me a very good looking answer, but when doing a cross check, it’s often slight wrong or out right wrong</text></comment>

Google has to be coming up with something shortly, right? It&amp;#x27;s interactive search engine results &amp;quot;on steroids&amp;quot; (I think? I can&amp;#x27;t tell me if brain is tricking me to be biased that it&amp;#x27;s cooler&amp;#x2F;more useful than it is. Everybody I tell about it non-tech isn&amp;#x27;t that impressed&amp;#x2F;feels it&amp;#x27;s spammy&amp;#x2F;crufty&amp;#x2F;formulaic).</text></comment>
