We calculated the probability that Jenn's new cubicle neighbor will be her future spouse...based on the upper and lower bound probabilities of whether this new coworker will be male, single, and straight. Also accounting for the FACT that 15% of people our age (18-27) meet their spouse at work (http://voices.yahoo.com/top-5-ways-people-meet-their-spouses-significant-7031616.html?cat=41) we have concluded that the probability that Jenn's new coworker will be her future spouse is at best 3.2%. Thank you excel. No confidence intervals needed here because this is 100% accurate. Here's to 3.2%!
