Zillian and Zillo live on the planet Zarquon Z. Due to atmospheric pollution, Zarquon Z experiences acidic rainfall with 1/4 of a chance on a SINGLE day. Zillo is planning a picnic for the next five days and hopes for clear skies in that time. What is the probability of NO acidic rainfall the next FIVE days on Zarquon Z?]]> Counting & Probability Tue, 23 Dec 2008 18:53:59 GMT http://nysmithmath.forumotion.net/counting-probability-f4/zillo-s-picnic-t41.htm#279 http://nysmithmath.forumotion.net/counting-probability-f4/zillo-s-picnic-t41.htm http://nysmithmath.forumotion.net/counting-probability-f4/number-theory-mr-mendez-s-class-problem-t49.htm Archis Since this is the Counting and Probability forum, I would like to begin with the fact that this is not the normal counting (1, 2, 3...) you may think of. By counting, I mean to introduce concepts such as casework and number theory. First question I would like to introduce: If Mr. Mendez awards extra credit points to his students with quiz grades that exceed the class average, what is the largest number of students that are awarded extra credit in a class of 107?
