| Jun 15, 2016 at 4:00 | comment | added | bobbym | @J.M. thanks! Were you surprised that 13 / 120 is not the answer? | |
| Jun 15, 2016 at 3:57 | comment | added | bobbym | @Dr. belisarius maybe I have found what J.M.was looking for. | |
| Jun 15, 2016 at 3:57 | comment | added | J. M.'s missing motivation | Yes, I noticed, @bobby. Nicely done! | |
| Jun 15, 2016 at 3:56 | comment | added | bobbym | @J.M. I may have found a way to use mathematica commands on the Dirichlet Distribution. I have posted it in my answer. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 2:29 | comment | added | Dr. belisarius | Ping me if you find it! | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 2:27 | comment | added | J. M.'s missing motivation | @Dr. bel, I've actually been trying to figure out an appropriate NProbability[] expression involving DirichletDistribution[] for the past hour or so, but haven't had much luck. I'll need to think about it more... | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 2:25 | comment | added | Dr. belisarius | I've redone my calc using DirichletDistribution (nice idea!). Same result | |
| Feb 25, 2016 at 20:47 | comment | added | bobbym | I liked the use of that distribution very much. | |
| Feb 25, 2016 at 20:41 | comment | added | J. M.'s missing motivation | I'm not sure why either. If you'll look at the code, the sampling of the points is completely uniform over the triangle (via DirichletDistribution[{1, 1, 1}]), so everything seems to be within the assumptions of your problem. I'll investigate later. | |
| Feb 25, 2016 at 20:36 | comment | added | bobbym | This is much faster than mine but using it I am not getting anything close to the predicted answer of 1 / 10. | |
