Skillful application of difference equation in a mathematical puzzle
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Physics, Mathematics and Statistics - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Unimportant and uncertain decisions can be made by flipping a coin in real-life. And apparently, toss a coin is a question of random probability. In the present paper, the author has made use of difference equation in solving a complicated probability problem of coin toss.
