If you toss a fair coin 20 times, what is the chance that you get a run of at least 5 heads at any time?
Easy to solve by simulation, and I know the answer already, but I'm trying to create a spreadsheet where I can enter the number of tosses and the length of the run required and get the probability.
Can someone tell me how to do this in excel?
