Hello, everyone! Thank you in advance for your time. I will try to describe my problem as best as I can.
We have a column with 3000 rows and each row says either W or L. How many different possibilities can this create? I was thinking 2 with an exponent of 3000. Which would give pretty much infinite possibilities. (Not sure if this is even correct. It is just my assumption.)
Now the hard part. What if the W makes an appearance in the range of 50-55% cases and L 45%-50%. (Of course they give only 100% together. So if W finds itself in the column 53% of the time then L has to be the other 47%.)
So I was hoping there would be a mathematical way to find out how many possibilities would this give. Logic tells me there would be less possibilities because the range is now limited (eventhough its not set to just lets say 55% for W and 45% for L but anywhere from 50-55% for W and 45-50% for L. It is still only 5% of the whole spectrum of previous possibilies /or so I think/)
Any thoughts on this subject are appreciated!
