    Permutations & Pascal's Triangle

    If I'm correct, you solve for (2-L)^5 + (2-L) so you fill in the triangle up to five and you have: (2^5)+(5(2^4-L))+(10(2^3-L^2))+(10(2^2-L^3))+(5(2-L^4))+(L^5) That should be right. You can fill in the rest from there. What I don't understand is how you got 15.4. is it 2 liter buckets or 2-L...

    What do I need to know for Pre-Cal, and what do I need to know to pass Pre-Cal?

    Right, I've become very familiar with the unit circle. That's one thing, but I'm also looking for a more comprehensive list. I'm in my second semester of Pre-Calc now. Think of it like this, if I were going to take a test covering everything that one learns in pre-cal, what would I need to...

    Probability of flipping a biased coin k times

    Ah alright, this is starting to feel familiar now. Like you said there are different possibilities, so you have to add the different probabilities that have tails at the desired amount. I think this is in the right direction, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure where to go now, but I...

    Probability of flipping a biased coin k times

    Yeah, I missed the latter part because I was confused with the former. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that it is (1/3)^(k/2). I always had a hard time with counting principles and probability, so I need someone to confirm that for me as well. EDIT: alright, I've just seen the above post. My answer...

    What do I need to know for Pre-Cal, and what do I need to know to pass Pre-Cal?

    Sorry if this post is too vague, but I'm new here. I believe this is the correct place to ask this question. Basically, I'm looking for a "checklist" of what I need to have known beforehand in order to accomplish Pre-Calc and what I need to know by the end of the course. I've been in honors...

    Probability of flipping a biased coin k times

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can tails come up more than the times you flip the coin? If you flip it k times, it can't come up more than k times.
