[OT] Statisics - was RE: [GZG] Re: laser classes

Not wholly applicable. We aren't rolling thousands of dice and trying to
determine how often a set of 9 6's comes up. The question is what is the
probability that exactly 9 6's and a 4 or 5 will show up if you roll 10 dice.

Be the FT rules definition, the first 9 have to be 6's and the last one a 4 or
5 so any combination that doesn't fit that criteria is excluded by the
definition of the problem.

If you change to problem to being 30 class 1 dice were rolled and 9 6's were
scored, that is a completely different animal.

http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lBut that was not
the problem. The question was "What is the probability of 19 coming up on two
beam dice." According to your logic the probability of getting 19 with two
class 1s is exactly the same as the probability of getting 19 with 1 class 1.
There is a flaw in your logic. I'm just not sure how to explain what it is.
