First scenario gives me 885,082 experience with a 93% chance to succeed.
Second scenario gives me 1,270,046 experience with an 88% chance to succeed.
With either scenario, if I do not succeed. I get 0 experience.

Which would grant me more experience if I were to repeat either scenario multiple times(tens of thousands of times if it matters)?
Would it be worth it to gain 384,964 more experience at the cost of 5% chance to succeed? I think this is what it equates to but I have no idea on how to figure it out.

Any help is much appreciated. :)

Just compare 885,082 times 0.93 with 1,270,046 times 0,88.

Choose the highest.

Maybe this will add to your understanding. 93% chance to succeed (with a maximum of 100) means that - on average - you will succeed to gain experience 93 out of 100 times.
So compare 93*exp against 88*exp to see which would grant you the most in 100 tries. To get the average experience gain per one try, just divide by 100: 0.93 and 0.88.

Don't math help shame.

Please. Some people learn at different paces and there is even an official "disorder" about math in the DSM (section 315.1 I believe, I have it as well)

You're talking about dyscalculia? This is the only one I know (aside from actual retardation). Anyway, dyscalculia affects mainly mental arithmetic skills rather than intelligence and basic judgement faculties which were all that was needed for this problem (just use a calculator for the actual computations)
At 23, no matter your education level or condition, you should be able to solve this. I could probably have done this when I was a very, very little child.
Also, please, don't call this mathematics lmao

Yes. And his question is related to mathematics 100%. And you are continuing to math help shame him.

As measured by a standardized test that is given individually, the patient's mathematical ability is substantially less than you would expect considering age, intelligence and education.
This deficiency materially impedes academic achievement or daily living.
If there is also a sensory defect, the mathematics deficiency is worse than you would expect with it.


No need for you to be rude towards other users asking for help.
