On generating functions in solving probabilistic problems

O. P. Vinogradov

Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics

Abstract: Using an example of two probabilistic problems, a method for finding generating functions will be shown. From the obtained explicit expressions for the generating functions, explicit expressions for the desired probabilities will be obtained. The first problem is related to Fibonacci numbers, and the second one is related to some combinatorial equalities.
