Intro Probability UNI LEVEL
Hi!
I dont understand the working for this question
n dice are to be rolled. Let Y be the largest number which comes up. (a) Determine Y's cdf (cumulative distribution function).
What is the intuition behind it?
Thank you very much for your time!

Re: Intro Probability UNI LEVEL
Hi;
Using order statistics, we get for the expected value of the largest die in n throws.
Do you know how to get the CDF from that?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
