Chapter 16, Problem 10P
* Parachutists landing on island Parachutists have an equal chance of landing on the south half of a small island or the north half. If eight parachutists jump at one time, what is the ratio of the probability that six land on the north half and two on the south half to the probability that four land on each half?
