Your probability distribution is binomial p = 0.51q = 0.49 In five trials, the distribution is ( p + q ) ^ 5 = p^5 + 5 p^4q + 10 p^3q^2 + 10 p^2q^3 + 5 pq^4 + q^5 So the probability for one power and four not is 5 pq^4 and for at least one is 1 - q^5 Arto Huttunen "Anon." <[EMAIL PRO

Thanks alot - it worked. How would you compose a short formula depicting: P {Only 1} = [P (Power) x P (NotPower) x P (NotPower) x P (NotPower) x P (NotPower)] + [P (NotPower) x P (Power) x P (NotPower) x P (NotPower) x P (NotPower)] + [P (NotPower) x P (NotPower) x P (Power)

if A and B are independent implies A and (A&B) are independent?

2001-09-17 Thread Nathaniel
Hello, I've got a question. If A and B are idependent does it imply that event A and (A&B) are independent too. My reasoning is: If A and (A&B) are idependent then: P(A|(A&B))=P(A), but P(A|(A&B))=P(A&(A&B))/P(A&B)=P(A&A&B)/P(A&B)=P(A&B)/P(A&B)=1. What does it mean? Could anybody explain me thi
