“if a school offers 99 individual tutorials and one class of 300 a student’s chance of being in a large class for one course is not 1%, it’s 75”
Sorry if this is off off off topic but it became a mental exercise for me…
Something is off with this statement.
If youre looking at 1 student’s options before enrolling to 1 class, then yes 99% of your options are small classes. Moving forward in the timeline, a student who enrolls in the 300 student class , will have 0% chance of enrolling in a big class ever again.
If you are asking the proportion of students, post-enrollment, who attend a big class, then yes 75%.
But that is not “chance”.
The numbers don’t make sense in general because, its unrealistic.
well… what happens to the 300 students who took the big class? 201 of them will not have any class to attend in the next quarter because the single person classes will all be full!
