A probability of 10-6 corresponds to 10-4 %, not 10-6 %.
Edit: the truth is that saying x% accuracy isn’t entirely correct, because the Numbers just don’t work that way. It’s just a way we convey the data to the average person. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve had asked “ok, but what doesn’t mean in terms of accuracy? What’s the accuracy percentage?”
And I understand what you’re saying now. Yes I did have the number written down incorrectly as a percentage. I’m on mobile this whole time doing a hundred other things. I added two extra digits.
