Doog, how did you learn all of this? I would love to try and figure out about calculations and what actually gives you the best odds. Did you take a lot of stats classes in college or what? Any thoughts?
well it is actually quite simple mathematical calculation. you can start using it when you learn probability with tree diagram. but instead of picking 2 or 3 people or throwing 2/3 dice, the same occuring series can be applied to larger number of trials.
on higher level(my country use terms diff from you so i may use the wrong term) in pre-u school, you can learn even how to estimate your probability by approximating the binominal distribute to other form of distribute that allow more easy of calculation.
And to be honest, this is the first time i ever encountered after learning L'Hôpital's rule in uni. lol. finally what i learn got some use to it!
