【No. 0540】Under Vending Machines
Jun 10, 2016 15:01
According to a survey of Japanese television program, there are coins under vending machines with a probability of about ten percent.
The investigation was actually performed to 300 vending machines, and 2,724 yen was found in total.
This means that an average of 9 yen was found under each vending machine.
Also, about 5.5 million vending machines are installed in Japan.
Therefore, there are about 50 million yen is sleeping under Japanese vending machines.
By the way, I don't know why, but there are many blog posts that says something like "about 51.5 million vending machines are installed in Japan, and there are about 460 million yen under them."
This is of course a lie, there aren't such a large number (nearly half of Japan's population) of vending machines.

自動販売機の下
日本のテレビ番組の調査によると、自動販売機の下には、約10％の確率でお金が落ちているそうです。
実際に300台の自動販売機を調査したところ、2724円が見つかりました。
一台につき、平均9円のお金が落ちていることになります。
また、日本には約550万台の自動販売機が設置されています。
すなわち、日本の自動販売機の下には約5000万円が眠っていることになります。
ちなみに、何故か「日本には5150万台の自動販売機があり、4億6千万円が落ちている」というブログ記事が沢山ありました。
これは当然嘘で、人口の半分近くの自動販売機はさすがにありません。
