Yes! your interpretation is correct. Heh. So yeah like let's say I'm asking "what's the chance of A and B and C all happening in no specific order" event A has a 1/2 chance of happening event B has a 1/2 chance of happening event C has a 1/3 chance of happening so you're saying i...

Thanks for the site. I'm still having trouble trying to understand how this would work in my scenario however. Let's say you have event A, B, C. 3 events, probability of A is 1/2. probability of B is 1/2. probability of C is 1/3. what is the probability of all 3 occurring? Order...

Yeah the 1 heads 1 tails example has a higher probability because the order doesn't matter. I get that. But I'm still lost on when to apply factorials. So back to my example if events 1/2, 1/2, 1/3 must all happen but order doesn't matter, would it be 1/12 and then you divide that by a...

Still stuck on this. It's not a homework question it's just me trying to understand. Please help it would be much appreciated. thanks.

bump for help

anybody? :frown:

Yikes I seem to be even more confused now! :confused: Sorry if I sound like a simpleton here but this is all new to me and I'm trying to wrap my head around it as best i can. What I can't seem to understand, is that for the 6/49 lottery, it works out like 1/49 x 1/48 x 1/47 x 1/46 x 1/45 x...

Hi all. Does anybody know their stuff when it comes to math? More specifically calculating probability... i have a question about factorials and when they should be used. If you have let's say 2 events, the chance of event A is 1/2 the chance of event B is 1/3 you're just supposed to...
