I am re calculating it right now.
By the way, just want to know if you have learnt survival model before?

k stands for the total no. of players , how about n?

how do you think?
please tell me if it is not correct

would you like to show me the steps for part b?

for part a, one of my friend told me dat
he used (a-b)^n as example, he expanded it and found summation from 0 to n, (-1)^i * nCi * a^(n-i) * b^i
when a = b = 1, it will look like the same as part a and will equal to 0 no matter n=0 or not

how do you think?
