No takers ? OK is there a general solution to this type of problem: Four counters (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) 24 distinct ways of arranging them. 1 correct arrangement (say Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) How are the incorrect arrangements distributed (what is the probablity distribution of the incorrect arrangements) based on numer of counters in the wrong position ?

For n counters ? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
