Not all x-letter-words have the same probabilities for appearing in a result. For example, the odds for having 'HHHHH' are not equal to the odds for having 'HHTHH'. In this case our intuition telling us that the word 'HHHHH' is not as common as the word 'HHTHH' is correct, Uri Kalishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08561692601016236573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841654461773705283.post-16275535430564012782008-05-18T00:21:00.000+03:002008-05-18T00:21:00.000+03:00Hi Uri,4-heads is only a private case of any other...Hi Uri,<BR/><BR/>4-heads is only a private case of any other 4-tuple (e.g. HTHT, HHHT) and therefore not having at-least one of the 2^n n-tuples is equally strange. <BR/><BR/>Moreover, what about non-consecutive occurences? for example, having H?H?H?H (? stands of whatever) is expected to occur as many times as H???H???H???H and so on.yair h.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841654461773705283.post-33095502092065778932008-05-08T11:01:00.000+03:002008-05-08T11:01:00.000+03:00I just love stuff, and observations, like this! :)...I just love stuff, and observations, like this! :)Markushttp://bloggingthent.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
