Default Re: Math Question - Probability

The EV of the highest number of N terms between 1 and 5 is the EV of the highest number of N-1 terms + 3/(2^N)

So when you start with 1 term between 1 and 5, you start with 3/(2^0)=3
3+3/(2^1)=4.5
4.5+3/(2^2)=5.25
etc.

Oh never mind, that's just wrong. I need to adjust the numbers.

e: This ends up being the answer for numbers between 0 and 6 though.
