Consider 3 trials of a random variable { X | H, T } .

The result is no different than a single trial of the random variable
{ X | HHH, HHT, HTT, THH, THT, TTT, HTH, TTH } .


How do we transform from one situation to the other ? Is it enough to
say they are "equivalent" ??

How do you know both outcomes are accessible given a single
observation? Flipping a coin has three outcomes not two. The third
is unlikely but not impossible.

I didnt read anything that this person wrote, in fact I covered it up
with a piece of paper on my screen to censor any possible words from
reaching my eyes. An opaque paper.

Consider 3 trials of a random variable { X | H, T } .

The result is no different than a single trial of the random variable
{ X | HHH, HHT, HTT, THH, THT, TTT, HTH, TTH } .


How do we get back and forth from one to the other ? How to we make
the conversion ? How to perform such a transform ?

Here's a hint for you Auntie....it has to do with conservation. And if
you say that conservation has no use in mathematics....I say you are
wrong. You need to re-read what I said about conservation.....what it
really is.

That is your hint.

Solve this riddle and I'll pay $1,500, a slightly used Canon 5D, and
dinner with a hot chick ( void where prohibited and everywhere else ).
