Missing Mail

You are the manager of a mail room which is frequently subject to theft. A period of N days is about to occur, such that on the i-th day, the following sequence of events will occur in order:

A package with a value of Vi dollars will get delivered to the mail room (unless Vi = 0, in which case no package will get delivered).
You can choose to pay C dollars to enter the mail room and collect all of the packages there (removing them from the room), and then leave the room.
With probability S, all packages currently in the mail room will get stolen (and therefore removed from the room).

Note that you're aware of the delivery schedule V1..N, but can only observe the state of the mail room when you choose to enter it, meaning that you won't immediately be aware of whether or not packages were stolen at the end of any given day.

7 Tips for Successful Self Learning - by Bradford Cross

No matter what, you're going to have to learn most everything on your own anyway. Self-learning is hard. Regardless of where, when or how you learn - being a good self-learner will maximize your potential.

In this post, Hamilton Ulmer (an almost-done Stanford stats masters student) and I, will explore seven ways to become a great self-learner.
