    induction q

    hey all, got a q, doesn't seem too hard but i cant get LHS=RHS in last step RTP: 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + (n-1)^2 + n^2 + (n-1)^2 + ... + 2^2 + 1^2 =\frac{n(2n^2+1)}{3}

    Binomial distribution Q

    Hi all, Can someone help spot my error? Answer is n=17 apparently. Q: A card is selected from a pack, its suit is noted, and it is returned. How many times must this be done so that the probability of at least one heart is more than 99%? P(X>=1) = 1-P(X=0) > 0.99 P(X=0) < 0.01 solve for n...
