What is the chance of getting 1 Ruby from a Fish?

Is it a 50% chance, or the chance of not getting a Ruby is higher?

I get only coins more often than I get Rubies.
Ruby

What exactly is the chance of Rubies from a fish?

Adding to @GiantTree's otherwise great answer:

The expected ruby count, E(R) from a single clickable is:

E(R) = 1 * P(1) + 2 * P(2), (1)

where P(x) is the probability of getting x rubies.

Using @GiantTree's information as source, we see that double ruby is rolled for after the first one, meaning:

P(1) = 0.44 - P(2),

which means the (1) can be expressed as:

E(R) = 0.44 - P(2) + 2 * P(2) = 0.44 + P(2). (2)

Now, P(2) can be calculated by:

P(2) = 0.44 * (0.04 + DRC),

where DRC is your double ruby chance, expressed as a fraction (so 15% means DRC = 0.15).

Finally, we insert this expression into (2):

E(R) = 0.44 + 0.44(0.04 + DRC) = 0.44 * (1.04 + DRC) = 0.4576 + 0.44 * DRC.

Or for short:

E(R) = 0.4576 + 0.44 * DRC.

This means the base expected value is 0.4576 rubies per clickable.

Since the highest value of the DRC-boosting ancient is 15%, we get a maximum value (excluding relics) of:

Emax(R) = 0.4576 + 0.44 * 0.15 = 0.5236,

meaning the maximum expected ruby yield (again, excluding relics) is 0.5236.

Best relics? Atman - For more hero souls. Kumawakamaru - For quicker progress. And if you get really deep, like, dunno, maybe world 5000, those that increase the time of powersurge, lucky strikes and super clicks, so that they run quasi permanently.
