Re: Probability problem.
Hi gAr;
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.

Hi bobbym,
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense" - Buddha?

Re: Probability problem.
Hi gAr;
Sorry for the long delay. It seems that my method of programming for the first time stop type of problem is very inefficient. This has been bothering me for sometime. Without a good simulation answer I am less able to come up with an answer.
I had to watch a video on the standard error to even bound the simulation. This showed I had to go much faster because the simulation had to be bigger.
I finally had to go to a forum for programming mathematica and ask how to do it. They showed me some ways that are much much faster then my best algorithms. Also, one of them showed me an analytical method that appears to solve the problem without me asking for it.
So, I am disqualified. Can you post your solutions?
