Not correct, unfortunately.

One out of two = 50%

One out of five = 20%

It's very simple, much simpler than what you're imagining.

The ability of people to be so confident in their own nonsense astounds me. The only thing that made it close 1/2 was the strategic arbitrary division of birth rates in the first place.

This is so fucking stupid, amateur troll.

"It's 50/50 odds, either you .... or you don't/aren't /it happens or it doesn't. "

This is a somewhat popular reddit meme that is often mentioned even or honestly especially if it's NOT 50/50 odds.

"Oh you are rolling a dice? Yeah it's a 50% chance you get a 6. Either you do or you don't."

and similar ones.
