“There will be no probability here as there are not defined number of trials”
You can have probability distribution if you average over all states/strategies. You don’t need to have a fixed number of trials. So you can say things like “assuming random behaviour, the expected behaviour will follow this distrubion”

>How are 5/3 turns possible

It’s an average – sometimes it may take 2 turns, some times it may take 3 turns.

What are you trying to say. There will be no probability here as there are not defined number of trials and there are no rules in which if we take out the edge blocks then we can take out one more block

Nope, sorry.

I meant, could you give me some examples of graphs that could be made with the data? Thank you :)

If you have a particular question i can try answer, but this is too vague – I don’t have the time to try explain everything.

Hi! I’d like to use this for my math explorations and was wondering how to graph these equations? Could you please help me with that? thank you :)
ps- also, I didn’t fully understand what you were aiming to find in this experiment. Could you please correspond via email? thank you

We havent cover this level od probability of distribution but I would like to study this for my project.. Could you email me on how to graph the final equation? And what the variable on the final equation is? Thank you so much.. I’ll be sure to cite your work..

If you have a particular question about a particular equation, I might be able to offer you a pointer, but I can’t just explain everything in simpler terms – I don’t have time for that.
