What are the odds......

mjonesreptiles Jul 26, 2007 10:41 PM

We got 6 eggs from our Ghost Male bred to a het female produced by him. We got 3.3 Ghosts. 6 for 6, what are the odds for that!? This is the first clutch from our Ghost project. What a payoff! Let us know what you think.

I love working out probabilities...

The odds of producing exactly 3 males and 3 females, all 6 of which are ghost from a ghost X het ghost breeding are 1 in 204.8

or 5/1024 ...expressed as a percent, that's a 0.48828125% chance!

...I want that kind of luck!!!

The odds of producing 6 ghosts from a ghost X het ghost breeding are 1 in 64 or a 1.5625% chance....

The odds of producing exactly 3 males and 3 females from 6 eggs are 1 in 3.2 or 5 in 16, a 31.25% chance

multiply 1/64 by 5/16 and you get 5/1024

CONGRATULATIONS mjonesreptiles!!!!! Your luck is astounding!!!!!!

I have a ghost male and a het female... I am so envious of your clutch!

I'll tell you what happened! I got no Ghosts from my Ghost x PH Ghost female, so you probably just got like 2 of mine! I will send you my shipping address, just send em over, and I will pay for shipping. Pretty sure my Hypos would have both been female too...
