Re: What do you think?
Hi;
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.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: What do you think?
That's an awesome formula!
I'll take a break, see you later...

Hi;
Okay and thanks for coming in. Have you seen Conroy's new dice problems?

Hi bobbym,
I downloaded that, but did not go through yet.
Any problem particularly interesting?

Re: What do you think?
Yes, a 730 x 730 matrix. But I did not solve it, I just proposed it to him. He solved it and emailed me that he would add it to the pdf.

It reminds me of your urn problem.

Re: What do you think?
Oh, you meant that you proposed the problem, I thought it was yours to solve!
I'll give it a try as well.

Re: What do you think?
Hi gAr and anonimnystefy;
Correct!
I proposed a bigger version of the urn problem to him so that he would work on it for the pdf. Ours is just as tough but can not be phrased as a dice problem.

I think I have found a connection of that problem with this sequence.

First, which problem?

Re: What do you think?
10th problem from that pdf. The probability that the ith dice will be a third of a number is Binomial[i-1,2]/6^(i-1) *the (i-2)th number of the 6th row of the first triangles in the examples.

Is it the first third of a number?

Re: What do you think?
That table is giving the probability of the the ith ball being a third one in a box. But is it the first ball to be the third one in any box or could there be others?

Re: What do you think?
The table doesn't give the probability. To get the probability you need to multiply by Binomial[i-1,2]/6^(i-1)
It is the probability that the number on the ith dice is the first one to appear 3 time.
