Hi there friends...
I used this line of code "typicalList = Table[Random[Integer], {50}]" and got this result...
{1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, \
0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1}
By generating a few more of these random lists, I'm to predict a similiar situation: such as how long i would expect to wait for 3 heads in a coin tossing competition...
any suggestion or help as to what code i could use to do this?
thanks a lot guys
