Question for math guys

[joel2006]

if one had a random number generated between 25 and 41. What are the odds that the same number (any number) would appear four times in a row? And what are the odds that a particular number (say 33) would appear four times in a row?

Including 25 and 41? I'll assume so.

What are the odds that the same number (any number) would appear four times in a row?

1 / 17^3

And what are the odds that a particular number (say 33) would appear four times in a row?

1 / 17^4

Thanks for your reply and pardon my stupidity, but is that one "divided' by the number or one "in" the number times

1 / 17^3 = "1 out of 17^3"
