It can be calculated either with A's as 8 taken 5 at a time, or B's as 8 taken 3 at a time using the combinatorial function C(n, r) = n! / (r! (n - r)!) where x! is the factorial defined as x! = x (x - 1) (x - 2) 3 2 1 and 0! = 1.

A ways is C(8, 5) = 8! / (5! (8 - 5)!) = 56

B ways is C(8, 3) = 8! / (3! (8 - 3)!) = 56

The total possible ways of combining any set of A's and B's with 8 positions is 28 or 256.

There is a... [ More ]

IF I WERE TO BET ON HEADS OR TAILS OR ANY GAME WITH ONLY 2 OPTIONS A OR B AND I WAS GUARANTEED TO WIN 5/8 HOW MANY SEGMENTS WOULD I NEED TO WIN A 5 LEG MULTI/PARLAY BET?

EXAMPLE A,A,A,A,A,B,B,B - B,B,B,A,A,A,A,A...

A IS OPTION 1 AND B IS OPTION 2...

HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS
