Hello everyone,
I have just made a simple program to count how many times a randomly popped-up ball bounces against the wall I can get,
Each time it shows up, in one minutes I can get different data, 100, 110,101 ,99, 98, 106 etc
would you please suggest me what statistical methods then are to be used for me to make a good conclusion about this phenonmena ?
My present conclusion is that my random generator (I am using VC++6.0) plays an important role in this unbalanced phenomena.

Thank you very much

It might help if you more clearly described what you're tyring to do.

I have no idea what you mean by "unbalanced phenomena." Are you suggesting that you get the same number in each trial? Why would you expect that? You specified it's a random process so there is no reason to expect the same number each time.

Aside from that, I suggest making a frequency histogram of the generated data.
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
