    TWO FIRSTS IN ONE DAY CHECK OUT NATHANIEL GREENE COMMENTS

  2. Onion says:

    Is it just me or does this guy get a lot of intruders? 10% is a lot.
    Also, 10% + 40 % makes only 50%, what else will the dog bark at and why isn’t it included in this graph?

    • Beth says:

      I think it’s supposed to be read as; if there’s an intruder, there’s a 10% chance the dog will bark and a 90% chance it won’t. If the dog spots a chipmunk or a mirror, there’s a 40% chance it’ll bark, 60% chance it won’t.
      I interpreted the graph the same way as you at first too. I think the concept’s a bit poorly executed.

  3. I lose says:

    Yeah, what about the other half?

  4. Fish Taco Salad says:

    50%- Dog barks at owner because it doesn’t want to lick the peanut butter off his balls

  5. vikingwarbrides says:

    My old dog would bark 80% of the time, if a leaf fell in the back yard. 15& at the squirrels that caused leaves to fall, and 5% at whoever was at the front door.

  6. Fizzix says:

    Title: Probability of Dog Barks by cause
    Y axis: Probability of barking (percent)
    X axis: Cause of barking

    Better yet, know what you’re doing before you post the graph.

  7. that guy says:

    what about the other 50%?? Just cause he wants to annoy the hell out everyone?

    • bunnyrut says:

      it’s not a pie chart. it’s a bar graph. bar graphs do not need to equal 100%

      • Fizzix says:

        But it is a probability graph, which leads me to wonder what the other options are that add to probability of 1.

        • chrisMR says:

          its the probability that the dog will bark at a given event, not the probability that a given bark is due to a given event.
          in the latter case, you would need to get to 1, that is, a given bark is 10% at intruder, 40% at reflection, 50% at X.
          in this graph, it depicts that if there is an intruder, there is a 10% chance the dog will bark at the intruder, 90% chance it wont.
          40/60 for the reflection.
          you could have this add to 10,000 and it would be ok.
          now for any given bark, perhaps there is a 1% chance the dog is barking b/c of an intruder. the title would likely be “Probability of Cause for My Dog Barking”.

  8. sublimation says:

    At a chipmunk or his reflection.

    The chipmunks reflection or the dogs?

    You should have written “At a chipmunk or his own reflection”

    • Nulono says:

      Clearly the dog. The chipmunk is a hypothetical one with no known gender.

      Trying to be a smartass FAIL.

      • sublimation says:

        The word “his” is often just a generic pronoun. Also considering that the authors dogs gender is never mentioned, one cannot be certain. This is why I mentioned it. I’m not being a smartass, I’m just pushing for proper grammar and idea conveyance.

  9. crazykitteh says:

    What if the chipmunks are coming to kill me, huh? What happens then?

  10. sck says:

    Cute, but needs some more options.

    With my dog, this graph would also include ‘At the evil, evil balloon’

  11. Schooly says:

    Yeah, pretty much failed. Plus, I think that’s my neighbor. Dude, your dog is barking at the fact that you’ve left him all alone outside all day! Catch a clue!

  12. alicia says:

    uhh that only adds up 2 50% Math FAIL
