Abstract
In this paper we are shown the following facts: The probability of increased , and the probability of decrease in step of a Collataz procedure initiated in arbitrary, they are equal for all values of . This influences on the law that generates the numbers of a Collatz sequence so that it is forced to decrease until the unit. Also is shown in the Collatz conjecture is false for every problem such that , and your probabilistic caracter can not be ignored if you want to get to the definitive solution, among other interesting arguments.
