Sum Distriubution Charts and Table
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 3:01 pm
I am not a mathmatician so this query takes me only as far as common sense will take me are there any static charts out there which demonstrates the possible sum distribution for 5/40 and 5/56 games.
For example in the 6/49 game the lowest possible sum is 21 while the highest possible sum is 299 that meand there are 278 possible sums. I suppose that the closer the sums come to the Min/Max sum the fewer the combinations there are that will return a particular sum.
At the same time, I should imagine sums closer to the midpoint between the Min/Max for example 139 can be reached many different combinations of numbers within a6/49 database. (E.g. the sum 139 can be reached by ??? combinations or 139/???) Like I said though I am not a mathematician and moreover do not want to do the math. Hence, my request has anyone out there done the Math for the 6/49, 5/40 or 5/56 games? If so please share.
Also as far as this program is concerned is their a graph or chart that demonstrates how often any given sum is ACTUALLY being returned. If so, please advise as to where. Again thanks.
