How to Increase Linear Probability
- 1). Calculate the current probability. For instance, let's say that, in a 28-day month, two days out of the month, you sleep till 10, but 20 days of the month, you get up at 6 and six days of the month, you sleep until 7. If you want the probability that you will get up at 7, divide the total number of times that getting up at 7 tends to happen by the total number of days that you get up to obtain 7/28, or 1/4.
- 2). Increase the number of outcomes in the "getting up at 7" group, while decreasing the outcomes of other groups. For instance, you might increase the number of times that you get up at 7 to 10 and decrease the number of times that you get up at 6 to 24.
- 3). Calculate the new probability. This is equal to 10/28, or 5/14.
