[ List of Lectures | Math 1100 Index ]

Problem of the day 21

It took Huck Finn 5 days to go downstream on the Mississippi by ship, and 7 days to make the same trip upstream, again on the ship. How long will it take him to make the trip downstream on a raft?

Brief review of the lecture

We discussed the ideas of sample space, event, and outcome. We also discussed the use of the binomial theorem in probability.
