Chetak C. - "Probability that one of the coupons is used = 1 - Probability that no coupon is used = 1 - nC0 p^0 * (1-p)^n = 1 -(1-p)^n"See full answer

Mark S. - "E(VAR(X))= VAR(X) VAR(X)= E[(X-E(X))^2] = E[X^2]-E[X]^2"See full answer

Lucas G. - "I'd recommend to adjust p-values because of the increased chance of type I errors when conducting a large number of hypothesis. My recommended adjustment approach would be the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) over the Bonferroni because BH strikes a balance between controlling for false positive and maintaining statistical power whereas Bonferroni is overly conservative while still controlling for false positives, it leads to a higher chance of missing true effects (high type II error)."See full answer
