The combined probability of a message leading to action, calculated by multiplying the probabilities of it being transmitted clearly, received and understood, and then acted upon. This combined probability model reflects the profound impact that words can have when broadcasted through various media channels. The Mathematical Reflection The formula shown in the image: This calculation indicates that there is a 50.4% chance that a message will be transmitted clearly, received and understood, and subsequently acted upon. This means that just over half of the messages transmitted through mainstream media have the potential to lead to actions based on this model. Reflection of Words Across Different Perspectives Words have immense power,… Read More
