Mathematician to provide formula for probabilities -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
We need a mathematician to help provide formulas for mathematical probabilities for some online games we are developing. We need the formula that you can enter into a spreadsheet that will work out the probabilities based on set variables, so we can modify the variables and see the different odds.
For example, I roll a dice 6 times, and another person rolls a dice 6 times. What are the odds that I will match x numbers in the same order as the other person (example, I roll 1 2 3 4 5 6, the other player rolls 5 6 3 4 1 2 therefore I've matched 2 of his rolls, 3 and 4), or that I will match x numbers in any order (in the previous example I would have matched all 6).
In the spreadsheet the variables would be the numbers to pick from (in this case picking from 6 numbers, as a dice has 6 sides) and the number of rolls, so I can see how the odds change.
If we work well this could be an ongoing ad-hoc position helping work these things out as we develop more ideas.
