Default Re: A sequence of events

you're assuming that you will automatically get at least one in ten X, implying that the probability of each trial is not independent. if the probability of each draw is 1/10 than it would be a geometric distribution and the average number of draws before a hit would be 10. meaning a loss of $.10 on each trial.

if a miss implies a greater likelyhood of a hit later on than the probability would be completely differnt, i could do it out but i don't think that's what you were wondering about, if it is than just respond and i'll show you the calculations
