It is that simple.What if you didn't go through the cards in order. Assume you look at only the 27th card. What is prob it is an Ace? (it's match).It's 1/13. What is the prob that the 42 card is a match:1/131/13 x 52 = 4

<t>Point 1 will be anywhere.Point 2 can be anywhere between directly across (180 from point 1) or directly on top of point 1 with equal prob.If point 2 is directly across, point 3 will be in a semicircle with prob. 1If point 2 is directly on top, point 3 will be in a semicircle with prob. 0.5(1 + 0....

it doesn't exist....as you said it's it flip flops from -infinity to +infinity....is this called chaotic?

so.....is a^b^c = a^(b^C) or (a^b)^cbecause 3^9 does not equal 9^3To get the answer root 2, we are assuming is a^b^c = a^(b^C)

Thanks Blondie.That makes it clear.No I can stop thinking about it.....

<t>Blondie,Please explain:"We now have to 'multiply' that probability with the one of getting one segment l.At first break, the probability of finding a segment of length l is by breaking 1 at l, or at 1-l, by symmetry"I don't disagree with your answer...I just don't follow where the factor of 2 com...

<t>Our intent is to flip until we see 8 heads in a row and then stop. We can then look back and see if 8 tails in a row had been flipped before we stopped. (I assume that seeing greater than 8 tails is a row would be considered 8 tails in a row).So we start flipping and we get 8 heads before we flip...

So...could someone state CLEARLY what the question is.

Is it moving horizontally, or is it moving along an inclined plane?If the direction is a straight line, after a long time the speed will be either zero, infinity, or remain at the initial V.

<t>Or some other clear reasoning.....1) put your hand in box 1 and grab r balls. Keep you hand in the box. Now drop all but one ball. Pull out your hand....this is the same as question 1...you're still just pulling one ball out of Box 1.2)put your hand in box 1 and grab r balls. Keep you hand in the...

assuming that you don't ever look at the balls until the "final" pull, the probablility never changes.The answer to both questions is n/(m+n)

<t>Guy number one makes a guesstimate of what the average salary is. Announces it out loud.Guy number 2 computes the difference between the guessed average and his own salary. He then whispers a number that is in the range of the computed number to guy 3. Guy 3 makes the same computation, and then a...
