Bascule is reading a book.
What is the probability that the first digit of the page he is on is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?
a) obtain an expression
b) approximate a numerical value
(In reply to
re: well.. by friedlinguini)
its good i didnt post the solution isnt it?
maybe ive missed something but exactly what evidence or arguments
suggest periodicity? judging from the agreed expression so far
there are no elements which would produce this behaviour.
i would say the contrary, proportions are pretty much the same
throughout..
where did you get the 0.55-0.95 values from? (please dont tell me
you got 0.55 from 5/9)
ive got for x = 1
x(1): P = 0.8586860670194003
finding values for x > 1 will probably shed some light..
