Let ##X## be the event that the first draw is a picture card
Let ##Y## by the event that the second is a picture card
Then the probability that at least one of the cards is a picture card is the probability of ##X## union ##Y## and has the formula

Hi everyone,
I am struggling to understand the difference between FMESH and MESH.
FMESH is used to create a mesh superimposed with the geometry but...what does MESH? Is it only involved in weight-window generation and not needed for mesh tallies?
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
There are 3 cases of getting 2 as smallest values:
(1) Taking one card (n = 1) → Probability = 1/4
(2) Taking two cards (n = 2) → Probability = 1/4 x 2/3 x 2! = 1/3
(3) Taking three cards (n = 3) → Probability = 1/4 x 1/3 x 1/2 x 3! = 1/4
Total probability = 1/4 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 5/6
But the...
Hi PF!
I am wondering the differences between the discrete and continuous case for expected value of minimum of 3 integers uniformly distributed from 1 to 13 vs 3 reals from 1 to 13.
The real case is direct: ##F = ((x-1)/12)^3 \implies f = 3(x-1)/12)^2## for CDF ##F## and PDF ##f##. Thus the...
The answer is 33 (based on the answer key).
At first, I thought Paul can just take all the 100 cards on 1st draw but since the answer is 33, obviously this thought is wrong. So I assume that the rule (2n + 2) must always be satisfied for each turn and all the cards must be taken (no card...
Not really a homework question. I was reading a book on card tricks and it said that it's almost certain that in a shuffled deck of cards, there will be at least two consecutive cards of the same value. I just wanted to know the actual probability of that. So, here's my question: in a standard...

20 children share some cards equally. When another child joins them, they each get 2 fewer cards. How many cards are they sharing altogether?
My answer:
children = ch
cards = cd
=> cd/ch
but when another child joins them, they get 2 fewer cards. So, ch = cds - 2.
then I did cd/20(cds - 2)...
