Following up on yesterdays post regarding this Administrations terrible luck with hard drives crashing whenever someone finds themselves under investigation, consider some statistics posted by my friend Rep. Mick Mulvaney: -The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480. -The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510. -The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850. -The odds of a disk drive failing in any given month are roughly 1 in 36. The odds of 2 different drives failing in the same month are roughly 1 in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of 3 drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. -The odds of 7 different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro-Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096 (thats over 78 billion). In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those 7 IRS hard drives crash in the same month.
