چکیده
|
We study the mean earnings of a lottery winner as a function of the number n of participants in the lottery and of the success probability p. we show,in particular,that,for fixed p,there exists an optimal value of n where the mean earnings are maximized. we also establish a relation with the inverse moments of a binomial distribution and suggest new formulas (exact and approximate) for them. copyright © 2010 konstantinos drakakis.
