sorry, got the equation mixed up! (feels like it shouldn't matter, but apparently it does when i plug it into excell
1. started by plugging a random number 0<x<1 into 10 x(1-x)^9
2. took the answer i got from that and put it through the same function 10 x(1-x)^9
3. took the answer...
Hello all! I am just a guy whos taking a basic statistics course and came across a phenomena that interested me. Probably very basic, but i can't figure it out by myself.
Was messing around on my TI-84 the other day, and ended up just pressing "solve" on a binomial probability function where...
to clarify: i'd have thought the time one would expect to experience from Earth would be the distance times velocity, and the time experienced on the spaceship would be shorter. why is this not so (phew, its hard to express oneself accurately in words about this sort of thing!)
well, now that I've typed out my thoughts i realized more specifically what my question is: I'm guessing i'd get the time from the velocity times distance, but which side of the equation would that time go to? would that be the T or the To ?
i imagine the To, bbecause the To in the equation...

A traveller with mass m = 66,5 kg travels with a velocity of 0,82 c to the Andromeda galaxy which is a distance of 2,55·106 lightyears away. Light with the wavelength 459,4 nm is emitted from the galaxy. assume the galaxy doesn't move and use the exact speed of light.
