... another, moving only one ring at a time, and placing a ring atop only a larger one. According to legend, when the monks have finally placed all 64 rings upon one of the other rods, the temple will collapse, and the world will be destroyed in a great thunderclap. - There are 36 combination for one An ...

... 29. A new kids’ puzzle has 4 distinct pieces. The machine that makes the puzzles randomly puts either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 different pieces in Bag A and either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 different pieces in Bag B. If you are given both Bag A and Bag B, and the probability that you can a assemble the puzzle is (wh ...

Introduction to Probability Distributions
... We have to bear in mind that the concept of “equal probability” of events has to be derived from experience. Once we have classified by experience all the possible different and mutually exclusive events in such a manner that they have equal a priori probability, we can apply the rules of probabilit ...

... Learning objective: To be able to determine when the Poisson Distribution can be used as a good approximation to the Binomial Distribution. An Archer fires 5 arrows at a target and for each arrow, independently of all the others, the probability that it hits the bull’s eye is 0.125. So we can use X ...
