It's not hard nor soft. If you pick i people, you pick something other than people.

It's a square root, not a conjugate root. [math]i = (a+bi)(a-bi)[/math] [math]= (a^2+b^2)[/math] [math]= (a+\sqrt{i-a^2}i)(a-\sqrt{i-a^2}i)[/math]

show, -> show; That's the square root of 2, duh, over 2 plus the square root of 2 times i over 2. If you know the Pýthagorean theorem and vector analýsis, you'd see that as the componends of a unit imaginary vector's square root. Roots of the imaginary trend towards the unity.

But this is a special bag.

You already said so. Percent means /100; therefore 1/i is 100/100i or 100/i %, for each second. And to the other poster swansont, who wasn't so good, yes there can be sheerly imaginary probability. Probability is the amplitude conjugate product: When amplitude is imaginary, such as elèctric currend for elèctric charge, the probability is negative. If you work backwards and set the probability to be imaginary (i), the amplitude is 22/2 + 22i/2. The imaginary merely represents another linearly independent factor.
