Re: So this is what was happening

That is very observant of you. The fact that it has been there for over a month...

I do not need proof. It tells me something about the way your mind works.

By now my mind is an open book to you. If you didn't find out anything about how my mind works, you certainly ain't gonna.

Re: So this is what was happening

Hi bobbym

I think that is what we got for your problem. We did a different problem from what you expected.

My GF for that was:

Re: So this is what was happening

So I can sum the probability of getting a result multiplied by that result. That gives me what the result will be on average when I put x=1.

Hi;

Did you use that on say a small power?

Anyway,
Has anyone read the book "The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Mid-night"?

I just plugged in 1 for x in my GF above.

Re: So this is what was happening

Re: So this is what was happening

Hi Agnishom

I put x=1 becauase it gets me the desired answer.

Gf means generating function.
