Help with SD calculations for hand distributions
How do you calculate the standard deviation for, say, the number of times you will be dealt a given set of hands over a given number of deals?
Example: Standard deviation for # of times dealt AA,KK,QQ,AKs over 16k hands? Or your example, but you get the idea. |

[/ QUOTE ] SD = sqrt(npq) where n is the number of hands p is the probability of getting one of the hands in question on any given hand q = 1 - p This is the standard deviation of the binomial distribution over which the number of these hands is distributed. In your example, there are 22 hands in question, so p = 22/C(52,2) = 22/1326. SD = sqrt(16000 * 22/1326 * 1304/1326) =~ 16.2 |
