Math question - probability

[Plutonium]

ok u two... how do you test this theory using computer simulation? how would people go about it? is there special program that u can use or u can do a simulation in c++?

What the hell are you talking about?

Probability is probability. In this case, there's nothing ambiguous about whether the results are correct or not.

And also, you don't have to use a million trials to prove something statistically. 30+ is often sufficient to show that it's equal within the error bounds. All increasing the number of trials does is narrow the range of possible error.

Go read a introductory statistics book if you want to learn more.

yes i know probability is probability, i already said that in my previous post i was asking if theres a software or a program that can simulate trials... go read an introductory English book if you want to learn to comprehend.

I always love it when people who are too lazy to type correctly and use punctuation tell others to "l2read" or anything to that effect.

Yes, I'm sure you can find a program out there to do this. I could probably whip something up in MATLAB to be perfectly honest. The real question is, though, why would you need to do this?

Bumped from April just because. I drew a picture. I think where Nuclear was confusing himself in the "pick two then pick one from the two" case was by finding a conditional probability based on the condition that the first pick contained a 1 (that is: Pr(1)|first pick = (1,x)) rather than taking the probability of picking a 1 out of the whole range of possible outcomes.
