Site Searching Statistics Questions

[Evilhomer]

And I am mildly affronted at the fact that you call this 'math geeky'. This is what I'll be doing for a living soon

Pretty much same here. But for me geeky is not equall to bad .

May I ask how you found that new distribution, Evilhomer?

0 - 0.000 trivial, we know we have atleast 1 site

1 - 0.216 we have 3 remaining "maybes", chance of having all as negatives are (6/10)*(6/10)*(6/10).

2 - 0.432 Chance of having exactly one additional site 3*(4/10)*(6/10)*(6/10)

and so forth....


Edit: I might have very well have misunderstood how sites are distributed to be honest....

As I understand it 4 checks are made with some percentage chance and for each "positive" a site is added, if i am wrong about this much does fall (though I am still pretty sure the binomical distribution changes if 1 earth site is given or not)
