Have 52 regular deck of cards, probability getting the first red ace?
So would 52 choose 2 be the possible placements of red aces in the deck?

What does the (52-1-m)/(52-m+1) stand for? I understand that the second part would be the probability for the two red aces. Also, how did you find that the maximal is k=1? And thank you for your help!!

Compositions with first part 1
Thank you!! What if the second part is 1 instead of the first part? Would it still be the same solution?

Finding the transition probability matrix, two switches either on or off..
Thank you, you cleared this up extremely well for me. I can't thank you enough! I can finally go to bed :)

Strong inducti0n with 3- and 5-peso notes and can pay any number greater than 7.
Ahh it all makes sense now! Induction gets me every single time..

So we can assume that every integer smaller than n but greater than 8, can be expressed as a combination of 3- and 5- pesos. My confusion lies in proving n+3..

Using the pigeonhole principle to prove there is at least two groups of people whose age sums are the same.
