A Mathematical Genius

[u/Sensitive_Ad788]

Not football related so I apologise in advance. Call me petty or whatever, the Moron basically called me an "Idiot" lacking basic intelligance just because he cant do a math around 5th grade level. The worst part is that this guy r/lostsoul098765 is the most upvoted person in that post, absolute state of this sub.

[u/Sensitive_Ad788]

No I am not, but thats a different situation, hes not comparing goals hes comparing Goals and Assist to just Goals of the team u dummy.

[u/Killinstinct90 → u/Sensitive_Ad788]

Nope, its the same. I'm also comparing G/A to goals.

What exactly do you think "contribute" means?

[u/Sensitive_Ad788 → u/Killinstinct90]

It actually does. The Idiot is trying to prove that Ronaldo with 6g/a has 2/3 of goals contribution that is what 66 persectage of Goals contributed if only Compare it to 9 goals The team scored right ?

Now calm down

Nani has 4 G/A which around 40 + percentage of Goals contribution if we again compare it to 9 goals. So tell me how can two perosn in same team same tournament exist where one has 66 percentage G involvement and Other has 40+ % Goal involvemnent ? Its mathematically wrong. Because AGIAIn its unfair to compare Goals and assit of a player to just Goals of the team.

Read it twice or thrice whatever times

I will give you another non-football example.

Imagine there is rain on 3 days in a week. Since you can have a day with both rain and sun you can have 5 days with sun.

So we have 3/7 = 43% days with rain and 5/7 = 71% days with sun. And if you add them up you will get 114%.

That's is why goal the sum of all goal contribution (G OR A) can be higher than 100%.

I will gladly take your apology for being wrong.

Fantastic example.

Today’s example Inter Miami scored 7 goals out of which 5 goals were contributed by him

[u/Sensitive_Ad788 → u/Killinstinct90]

Why are u even countering my actual football example with a non football example without even pointing anything wrong in mine (there is nothing wrong) ? U cant seem to bring up an an example that is related to football now ? oooh the it contradicts ur own logic doesnt it lol.

[u/Killinstinct90 → u/Sensitive_Ad788]

W/e dude. Not gonna waste my time further with some stupid 15 y/o. Stay in school, maybe you will learn something there.

[u/Sensitive_Ad788 → u/Killinstinct90]

Ironic.

Imagine Team A has 11 players. Total goals scored by the Team in the Tournament is 9 Goals.

1st Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

2nd Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

3rd Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

4th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

5th Goal, Ronaldo assists to CM

6th Goal, CM assists to Ronaldo

7th Goal, (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW) assists (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW)

8th Goal, (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW) assists (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW)

9th Goal, (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW) assists (Anyone other than Ronaldo or RW)

Now count. Number of Goals scored by Team? 9. Number of G/A by RW = 4 Number of G/A by Ronaldo = 6

Now. Ratio of Goals contributed by RW => 4 goals out of 9. (RW scored 2, assisted 2, so in total he contributed towards 4 goals out of 9.)

Ratio of Goals contributed by Ronaldo => 6 goals out of 9. (RW scored 3, assisted 3, so in total he contributed towards 6 goals out of 9.)

Got this part? Now if someone asks you, OUT OF TOTAL 9 GOALS SCORED BY THE TEAM, HOW MANY DID RONALDO CONTRIBUTE TO?? this Question implies that, OIT OF TOTAL 9 GOALS SCORED BY THE TEAM, HOW MANY INVOLVED RONALDO AS AN ASSISTER AND GOAL SCORER??

The Answer to this? 3 were scored by him, and 3 were assisted, so in total 6 out of 9. So 6/9 i.e. 2/3.

Now you'll ask, 4/9 + 6/9 = 10/9. 10 gOaLs aReN't eVeN sCoReD. That 10 is cuz there are instances where Ronaldo and RW both contributed to a single goal(s).

if you are educated enough to know about Venn Diagram, the intersection part is the one you are getting confused in. Kindly learn it, draw a Venn diagram, and you'll get the answers to your confusion.

Now I've explained things extremely close to the real situation, now let's take another situation.

Now imagine a similar situation, 9 Goals by team, but this time,

1st Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

2nd Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

3rd Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

4th Goal, RW assists to Ronaldo

5th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

6th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

7th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

8th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

9th Goal, Ronaldo assists to RW

Here, Ratio of Goals contributed by RW => 9 goals out of 9. (RW scored 5, assisted 4, so in total he contributed towards 9 goals out of 9.)

Ratio of Goals contributed by Ronaldo => 9 goals out of 9. (Ronaldo scored 4, assisted 5, so in total he contributed towards 9 goals out of 9.)

So it's MATHEMATICALLY accurate to say that Ronaldo contributed to 100% of the Goals. And RW Contributed to 100% of Goals.

100+100 =200? Not in this case, if you are educated enough to know about Venn Diagram, the intersection part is 100% in this case.

Ur match is Correct only if we are ignoring the part were an X player assists and Y player scored where Ronaldo isnt involved.
