|
<p>A bank customer had $100 in his account. </p>
|
|
<p>He then made 6 withdrawals, totaling $100. </p>
|
|
<p>He kept a record of these withdrawals, and the balance left in the account, as follows: </p>
|
|
<center>
|
|
<table border="0" cols="2" width="300" >
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th align="center">Withdrawals</th>
|
|
<th align="center">Balance left</th>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$50</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$50</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$25</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$25</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$10</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$15</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$8</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$7</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$5</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$2</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$2</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$0</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">$100</td>
|
|
<td align="center" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">$99</td>
|
|

</center>
|
|
<h2>So, why are the Totals not exactly right?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is <b>no reason</b><i> </i>whatever why the customer's original deposit
|
|
of $100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The total of withdrawals in the left-hand column may equal $100,
|
|
but it is purely <b>coincidence</b> that the total of the right-hand
|
|
column is close to $100. </p>
|
|
<p>Let us show another example, but starting with $200 in the
|
|
bank:</p>
|
|
<center>
|
|
<table border="0" cols="2" width="300" >
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th align="center">Withdrawals</th>
|
|
<th align="center">Balance left</th>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$50</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$150</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$25</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$125</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$10</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$115</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$8</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$107</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$5</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$102</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center">$2</td>
|
|
<td align="center">$100</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="center" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">$100</td>
|
|
<td align="center" style="border-top: 1px solid black;">$699</td>
|
|
</tr>
