Spencer - If this is homework, what have you tried so far?
Hello Geoff!
This is not homework. Below is what I have so far. I am struggling to define the function and graph it.
the bounds are S(p,N), 0<=p<=1, 2<=N<=10,000
function [p,N] = (1-((1-p)^N))
p = 0:1;
N = 2:10000:
end
Are p and N inputs or outputs of this function? Please see Declare function name, inputs, and outputs for an idea of how to set the signature for your function.
Its a probability formula where p is the probability something with happen and N is the number of incidents
Does p just take on the values of 0 and 1 or are you interested in others? Consider meshgrid to create some data for your probability function.
p is some number greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to 1
so P takes on all numbers between 0 and 1. Do you mind providing me with the code?
Right but you still need to define what those values are for p. Is it sufficient to do something like
p = 0:0.01:1;
where the array p is all values 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03,..., 1.0? Or do you need more or fewer? Once you have determined that and done something similar for N (this is probably easier and you could use your code above), then you can use meshgrid as
[P,N] = meshgrid(0:0.01:1, 2:1:10000);
and then put those results in your above function. Then try using contour that Aquatris described below.

What you are looking for is the "countour" function (or countourf) of Matlab. Check this link and you can adapty your equation to the given example.

I can't get it to work. I think the problem is N is between 2 an 10,000. Do you mind providing me with your code?
Dont exactly know your values but something like this;
p = linspace(0,1,1e3);
N = linspace(2,1000,1e3);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(p,N);
Z = 1-(1-X).^Y; % notice the .^ since we do not want matrix algebra
contourf(X,Y,Z)
