Default Re: Helmuth - Ferguson Head Up Match Theory Question

yea definitely give almostbusto some credit.

you guys who says its only matters that each leg of the match are independent are WRONG. each leg must be independent and identically distributed. thats why i declared the variable is binomial. by virtue of being binomial it is IID.

yes that is a hugely nitty point, but to say my answer is a poor one is a nitty point [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't think the term "identically distributed" is meaningful in this context though.

I know why DS hates your answer. If I were to hate it, it would be because the argument is garbled. A garbled argument in maths is usually a sign of incomplete understanding.

(which is better than no understanding at all...) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
