Statistical impossibility

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by SamF (Talk | contribs) at 03:18, January 22, 2010. It may differ significantly from current revision.

A statistical impossibility is a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1X10^-200 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a rational, reasonable argument.
