Odds of 7 IRS drives to crash 1 in 78 Billion
Anonymous Coward User ID: 19800101 United States 07/19/2014 12:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Odds of 7 IRS drives to crash 1 in 78 Billion The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480. The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510. The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850. The odds of a disk drive failing in any given month are roughly one in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096. (that's over 78 Billion) In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month. who do they think they are kidding?

Mortimer User ID: 44065675 United States 07/19/2014 01:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Odds of 7 IRS drives to crash 1 in 78 Billion Are you saying they are claiming that 7 crashed? Well, they could be telling the truth, here is my argument in their defense. They have been totally unable to do one thing right so not being able to run a computer backup files should not be a surprise to people. So, they could be telling the truth but all should be fired on the spot. They made a mess of the computer system in the health care setup, even though we did not want it, they made a mess. They have to start over, with new people and more money. Fire them, make them quit if nothing else. We in the private not public jobs would get fired for such incompetence! See, I cut them a break, sort of. Daughter out with my own way.
