Hi, i just started studying for exam P, and ive noticed for some problems i need to compute large factorials (my calc can only handle up to 69!).
for example, i need to solve this problem: SUppose each of 100 professors picks a random course from a list of 200 courses. What is the probablity that atleast 2 professors will pick the same course.
So to solve this i would basically do:
1-(200/200)*(199/200)*(198/200)...(101/200), so how would i solve this with a calc? there are too many terms to handle.
