Re: For absolute beginners

Jack:

When I program

*** REM "TWWO"
CLS
DEFDBL A-Z
n = 50: p = 1
FOR i = 0 TO n – 1
p = p * (365 - i) / 365
NEXT I ***


I evaluate

___p = Prod ( 365 - i ) / 365___0<= i <= n-1

which is CORRECT for the probability no matches, and
not your WRONG formula
*** a) p = 1 - Prod(1-(j-1)/365)
*** a) p = 1 - Prod(1-(j-1)/365)
*** a) p = 1 - Prod(1-(j-1)/365)

How could copy your formula if a found the correct
value BEFORE (Jul 25, 2006 6:37 PM ) you post the
formula above on Jul 25, 2006 7::07 PM?




Your formula on July 25, 2006, 6:37 PM is correct if and only if 100 = 50. Are you claiming that 100 = 50?




Furthermore

Put j=0 in your WROMG formula and you get the first
factor equal to
____1 - ( 0-1) / 365 = 1 + 1/365 = 366/365
larger than ONE!!!!!!!!

DO YOU INSIST YET THAT THE FORMULA a) IS THE CORRECT
T ONE?

Who put you in jail by outrageous - defamatory
attempt?



The judge released me from jail for the express purpose of finding errors in your formulas.
