Re: What do you think?
What table?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.

Re: What do you think?
Hi bobbym
Do you see his table for P(X=n) on page 18?
Let T_n be the nth number in the 6th line of the triangle
1;
1, 1, 1;
1, 2, 4, 6, 6;
1, 3, 9, 24, 54, 90, 90;
1, 4, 16, 60, 204, 600, 1440, 2520, 2520;
1, 5, 25, 120, 540, 2220, 8100, 25200, 63000, 113400, 113400;
1, 6, 36, 210, 1170, 6120, 29520, 128520, 491400, 1587600, 4082400,
.
.
.
Then P(X=n)=T_(n-3)*Binomial[n-1,2]/6^(n-1)

Re: What do you think?
Okay, you were supposed to check that but maybe you are not at your computer. I can check it. Supposing you are right is there an easier way to generate those numbers than he did?

Re: What do you think?
I checked the for values of n from 3 to 9. I did not check the last 4.
I think it might be. I do not understand yet how the triangle was generated. I will have a look later.
Edit: OEIS gives a formula for those: T(k,n) = n^k.

Re: What do you think?
For this particular problem the formula is T(n) = n^5, which is kinda obvious, considering the fact that it is the number of ways we can put n marbles into 5 jars, with both jars being different and order of putting in mattering.
I think we actually solved it!

Re: What do you think?
Why not?
With the following code I get the correct answer!
Code:
sum(i!/(2*6^(i-1))*coeff(ratexpand((1+x+x^2/2)^5),x^(i-3)),i,3,13),numer;

Re: What do you think?
It is working for me. What's the problem?
I think it could be generalized for 4, 5 and more dice in a row.

Re: What do you think?
Please hold on with that. We are still working on the 3. I agree that it will be possible to generalize but first I would like to simplify how you are doing the three. If we can do that we can really present it to him as a superior solution.

Re: What do you think?
Is there a way to generate the sequence T[5,n] that does not require us to expand a trinomial or a sum with a ceiling function in it?
