at the same time, the mean chance of the contrary event F will be the sum of the fractions 1− p1, −− p2, . . . 1− pμ , divided by μ; and by designating it by q′, one will have p′+q′ = 1. This being, the one of the general propositions, which we wish to consider, consists in this that if one calls m and n the numbers of times that E and F will arrive or are arrived during the series of these tri...
