Suppose that we perform n independent trials until we get a success (e.g., a heads in a coin toss). For coin tosses, the possible outcomes could be, H, TH, .
If the idea is to stop when the coin first shows H, the suggested sample sequence does not conform. I suggest replacing the second sentence with this:
For repeated coin tosses, observing T, T, H, ..., would correspond to a score of n=3.
(In the world of math, we put our decorative stars in a superscript position, so the updated parameters requested here would be denoted
I fixed this. I am not sure what you mean about coaxing R Markdown to achieve this; I don't need a backslash in math mode to create a superscript.
Fixed.
