- mech422 5y agoI _think_ thats for a single drawing? From the document my friend linked, I think for multiple drawings you use the binomial thing ?
- Jensson 5y agoIt is a good approximation when you have very small probability like this. For larger probabilities you can do the same calculation and their relative position is still true even though the probability isn't, since both will be approximately exponential with growth factor roughly equal to their fraction, and exponentials adds linearly.
