How can I calculate the probablity of 2 same numbers being right next to each other, when 100 random numbers chosen from '1,2,3... 6' form a line?
CRGreathouse said:This is easier if you calculate 1-S, which is 5/6 with two dice and (5/6)^2 for three dice.
Mins said:How can you calculate the probability of 'n' pairs of same numbers being right next to each other?
CRGreathouse said:I'm not sure what you mean, give an example.
Mins said:What I want to find out is the probability of not just only one, but 2 or more sets(2 same numbers being right next to each other) appearing in a line.
First one has one "set"(I defined the word, think you should know).Does 1112345 count as having two "sets"? Does 1111234?
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is represented as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.
To calculate probability, you divide the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. This is called the probability formula: P(event) = number of desired outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.
Theoretical probability is based on mathematical calculations and assumes that all outcomes are equally likely. Experimental probability is based on actual data and is calculated by conducting experiments or collecting observations.
The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of trials or experiments increases, the experimental probability of an event will approach the theoretical probability. In other words, the more data we collect, the closer our results will be to the expected outcome.
Probability is used in many real-life situations, such as predicting weather patterns, determining the likelihood of winning a game, and making financial decisions. It is also used in fields like medicine, economics, and engineering to analyze data and make informed decisions.
