Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

This is elementary probability.

With p=.5 and 292 trials, there is about a 16% probability that you would get 154 (or more) of one outcome. You cannot reject the null hypothesis that Pr(elemental) = Pr(sorcery).

[I used the BINOMDIST function in Excel to calculate that]
