Question for math guys
Let's say i have a random number generator set to generate a number between 25 and 41 randomly. What are the odds that i will get the same number (any number) four times in a row? is it 16 to the power of 4?

Re: Question for math guys
Either (17^4)or (15^4)depending on how you define “between 25 and 41.”
You'd do better with questions like this in the Probability Forum. |

It is to the 3rd power.
Let n be the total number of available numerical options. 1. Choose any number 2. Chance of getting number from step 1: 1/n 3. Chance of getting number from step 1: 1/n 4. Chance of getting number from step 1: 1/n Therefore, the total chance is (1/n)^3 |
