Question 1158206: 3 people go to stay at a motel and the clerk charges them $30.00 for the room. They split the cost $10 each. Later the manager tells the clerk that he overcharged the guests and that the actual cost should have been $25.00. He gives the clerk $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men. But the clerk decides to cheat them and pockets $2.00. He then gives each guest $1.00. Now each person has paid $9.00 to stay in the room and 3*$9.00=$27.00. The clerk pocketed $2.00. $27.00+$2.00=$29.00. So where is the other $1.00?

Question 1158324: Hi Professor:
I have a question related to the probability, a stock price is currently at $10, what will be the probability the stock price will be above $10 after 5 days? Assume the stock price will be randomly moved according to the following exact percentages: -3%, -2%, -1%, 1%, 2% and 3% (so there are total 6 different possible percentages movement and the movement are purely random among each day).
My approach to this problem is the following: there are total 6 different movement, and the total trials are 5 days, so the total permutations will be 6^5=7776, but I just can't continue the rest due to my limited math knowledge, could you help me out on this?
Thank you for reading my email and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Tutors:
Thank you for answering my questions above (at Answer 781251 ).
I think the answer (781251) just solved one of the permutation, what if the percentage change were repeatable negative percentages, these percentage changes are all independent, so it could have like: -3% every single days, or -3% for 3 days then another 2 days -2%, etc. I wanted to know what are the probability under all the permutations, what are the chances that the stock price at the end of 5th day will be above $10?
again, thanks
Alex
