We are in both. Both universes are equally real. Each 'copy' of you knows it's in the universe where the result matches the observation.

I'm pretty sure this is not true. Nobody has proven this.

If in my universe I could always predict the correct results, then we would just have determinism, and I could predict exactly when an atom would decay. There would be no need for statistics.

Some high level background that might help.
