1 - (1-0.95)^9 = 64

Did they generate this blog post with AI? That math be hallucinating. Don’t need a calculator to see that.

Read a few more posts and it shouts GPT occasionally. Plus the author's (as I like to call them still) role is listed as 'Content Engineer' which isn't inspiring either. Too bad, the topics sounded interesting.

I’m so confused by the math in this article. It’s also not 37. I can’t be the only person scratching their head.

Probably mangled the expression. (0.95)^9 = 63%, 1 - (0.95)^9 = 37%

Hmm, (1 - (1-0.95))^9 also = 63%. No idea why 64, closest I can see is 1-(0.95)^20 or 1-(1-0.05)^20 = 64%.

		Yeah, I thought he was talking about 1 out of 20 features, but that's kind of why I was wondering if AI had written it. Sometimes it'll have mis-aligned figures etc.
