Please give the link to your graph.

OP  becomes OQ   under a dilation (which means it gets bigger)

It gets bigger by a factor of 4

OQ is 28units.

So now you tell me, what is OP?

I have looked at Tiggsy's solution and I have a query.

If anyone knowledgeable wants to answer me that would be good.

This site looks very relevant but I have not managed to work through it properly yet.

Hi Tiggsy,

This question has been referred to recently and I have tried to understand you logic.

This statement confuses  me.      and is 2/3 of the way down that line from P.

Where did the 2/3 come from?   Is this just some fact that I am supposed to know?

Tiggsy is not here a lot so if someone else can explain this I would appreciate it.

(Please do not respond if you do not know what you are talking about)

Thanks Ginger,

NOW our answers almost match.

So there are 2304 possible outcomes (for 2 consecutive throws) but we only care about the ones inside this Venn diagram

So there are 36 ways to get six heads 

and 64 ways to get two 6s.

and one way to get 2 sixes AND six heads.

So there is 35 ways out of  99 relevant outcomes where 6 heads is thrown BEFORE 2 sixes.

P(HHH,HHH before 6,6) =   \(\frac{35}{99} = 0.\bar{35}\)

The logic I used last time was more complicated but similar. I think I just made careless errors.

Hectictar already answered this exact question.

Thanks Alan,

I never would have thought of that  g(1)  and   g(-1) method
