Doh!
Yes, you're right, of course. Thank You, Bruce. |

Re: getting a specific hand X times in Y hands
If you want a less arduous method, you can use a Poisson approximation.
Then you only need p (the probability of making the hand) and y (the number of hands) and you can instantly calculate the (approximate) probability of getting the hand x times. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution By the way, the main formula here is (e^(-yp))((yp)^x)/x! which can be calculated relatively quickly for most x. |
