integral with many variables
The problem is this:
We have a number N of runners each known to cover the distance at a mean time Ti (i=1 to N) and the standard deviation around the mean time is the same, say ó.
What are the probablitities of runner i winning the race ?
Typical cases:
100 meters sprint: mean values are of the order of 10'' and ó is of the order of 0.1''
1000 meters horse race: mean values are of the order of 60'' and ó is of the order of 0.5''
This can be computed fairly easily with the use of normal pseudo-random numbers.
But I am looking for a closed solution or approximation.
