Rob Musquetier- What's the math?

[Gerard F.]

Rob,

In the C2 registry (c2registry.org) you have the options for each car listed and the percent sold for each option. On the bottom of the list of options is a total, and there is a total percent in the column under %sold.

Does that total %sold represent the total number of vehicles in that year that were sold with the package of options. What's the math behind the total %sold, is it just a multiplication of the percents of each option in the column above?

Would that truly represent the percent of cars sold with that package of options?

Re: Rob Musquetier- What's the math?

The percentage calculated is a multiplication of all the selected options, excl. colors selected.

greetings,

1 of a Kind 67 = less than 1/22940%

Rob,

I see the math logic. If you have a total percent sold of less than 1/22940 or .004359% (.00004395 product of the multiplication in decimal), then you would have a one of a kind 67, just based upon the package of options.

Although my 67 is 1 in 424, there are many on the C2registry, and out there, which are 1 in 1, and many which beat the 1 in 12 claim.

Isn't that interesting. Kevin, the math on your 67 makes it 1 in 1.

Re: 1 of a Kind 67 = less than 1/22940%

Your car has apercentage sold of 2.9311% which calculates to 672 cars.

That is not really abnormal I would recon...

greetings,
Rob.

using my preschool math on a calculator But no big deal.

Roy's 67 is a 1 of 1, regardless of the BB hood.

Thanks.
