Problem 20STE
Suppose that there are n possible outcomes of a trial, with outcome i resulting with probability pi,i = , If two independent trials are observed, what is the probability that the result of the second trial is larger than that of the first?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
It is given that there are n possible outcomes for a trail.
The probability of each trial is and .
Using this we need to find the probability that the result of the second trial is larger than the first trial when two independent trials are observed.
