The chance of getting three failures in a row, at 5% failure rate, is 1 in 8000. It's small, but by no means impossible. With ~45 million sold, that's 5625 people.Zwhaler said:Even that, I would have to disagree. I must have gotten that 5% failure rate 3 times in a row then.
With a 5% failure rate roughly one in 8000 will get three bad ones in a row. Considering how many millions iPods that has been sold this will happen fairly often... (edit: Very slow on the calculator... )Zwhaler said:Even that, I would have to disagree. I must have gotten that 5% failure rate 3 times in a row then.
