− | ==Predictions for Obtaining==
| |
− | In mathematics, there is a formula for finding the actual chance of an independent event (of the same probability) happening given multiple attempts:
| |
− | p = 1-(1-c)^n
| |
− | given that "c" is the chance of occurrence {0<c<1} and "n" is the number of attempts made to find "p," the probability {0<p<1}. To find the amount of ores needed to obtain a specific chance of meltan spawning at least once, the formula can be solved for n,
| |
− | n = log_(1-c)[1-(desired chance)]
| |
− | where the term "(1-c)" is the base. The following table for chances can be constructed using the default chance of 1/3072: showing the relation between the 'chance' of at least one success and the 'amount' of ores expected to be smelted.

− | Note that given a probability less than 100%, the chance of having at least one success will never reach 100% regardless of the number of attempts made. Additionally, there are diminishing returns from attempts in terms of probability as the predicted probability approaches 100%.
