Problem of the Day #145: Albert August 11, 2011
Posted by Sreenath in : potd , trackbackLet S be a sequence of random variables, all 0 or 1, such that the probability of $S_n$ being 0 is $\frac{1}{n^2}$. Let $p$ be the expected value of the probability that the product of the elements of a randomly chosen subsequence of S is nonzero. Find the integer closest to $10000\cdot p$.
You may use any computational aid.
