Re: Some question about WG 1.5.

Thanks for the answers. So i guess the problem of not finding the 34/42 covering was because i just didn't let it enough time. Fair enough. The "analysis of the constructed covering is partially performed" refers to the coverages window aalysis (display -> coverages). The demo obviously does not hin...

Re: Some question about WG 1.5.

I have to add also: I wonder now if my above problems are because of the limitations of the DEMO version of WG. I read in the descriptions: "The only limitations are the display and analysis of the constructed covering which is partially performed." What does "analysis of the constructed covering is...

Re: Mathematics (Jackpot) - Number drawn X times in last Y draws

Sorry but i will be harsh. I have to defend Mathematics . "safely" means that we can use this information and we expect this to be 99% correct. If we are so unlucky and fall in the 1% case, we can blame luck or the neighbor. If however you want to bet on the 1% and include this, it is up to you. Wou...

Re: Mathematics (Jackpot) - Number drawn X times in last Y draws

An example: a=5, b=45 (game 5 of 45). What is the chance of a number to appear x=3 times in the last y=5 draws? We've determined p=0.111 before. So, the chance is C(y,x) * p^x * (1-p)^(y-x) = = C(5,3) * 0.111^3 * 0.888^(5-3) = = 10 * 0.00136 * 0.78854 = 0.0108 or 1.08% approx. As you can see, this ...
