How does statistics work?

If i put one bullet in a five shot revolver and get a click then then statistics dont like stack up on me daily if i spin the cylinder every morning i still have the same 20% chance right?

You have the same 20% chance of dying the next morning, yes. But the cumulative probability of dying within say, a year, from today's perspective, is basically 1.

So probability and statistics are different things or am i misunderstadnding@BlueVeins

@Genieinabottle Technically, yes. Statistics is basically the practice of using samples to estimate parameters about populations and making extrapolations. Or in English, selecting a subset of a larger group, and using the members of that subset to draw conclusions about the larger group.

What you're talking about though, fits pretty neatly into the category of probability.

Sure,but it has to be a 5 shot revolver for that.The statistic is also that within the 5 day period the bullet will be shot.
You can think it as if there is a 1% chance of crashing your car then in 100 days or less you will crash your car.

@BlueVeins If it is not clearly in the question it does not exist.

@tallpowerhouseblonde yes, the issue is survivability. The weapon is pointed at “self”

@Genieinabottle I was trying to help you out here.You will make a terrible lawyer.😁

Today was a click - but you probably sussed that out already.

@Genieinabottle You're not killing yourself this way, are you?

@BlueVeins not until it actually goes off. I pulled twice today because my wife called and told me what a worthless piece of shit i am - i got two clicks..

@Genieinabottle Hey man, if your wife's treating you like a cumrag, you should leave that bitch in the dust. Your life has value. You have people who love you. Please, get rid of the gun and build a new life with people who care about you. You still have time. ❤️

If you spin it every morning before you pull the trigger yeah. Every time you have a 20% chance.
