Fight Club question

>!Is it ever explained why the narrtor's suitcase was vibrating? There's a joke, but I don't remember any kind of later reveal.!<
>!Now that I think about it, does Tyler have it when he steals the car outside? He just has his soap-filled briefcase, I think. That's not real, anyway, right? !<
>!And is there a plot-related reason he needs to not have his suitcase any more?!<

I am currently scoring AP Stats tests and I want to know the probability of coming across one of my own students' test.

Last year, around 250,000 students took the test. Let's use that number for this year. I had 30 students take the test this year. After 3 days of scoring, I have scored question 3 almost 1300 times. There's 3 days of scoring left. Let's say I end up scoring 2500 tests. What's the probability of at least one of those being one of my students, assuming nothing in the system stops it?

I understand the probability is essentially zero, but I'm curious just how close to zero and how to even calculate it.

Not even sure how to approach it. I understand it's not a binomial, but my probability skills end at the AP Stats level. There's a 30/250000 probability of a random test being one of my students, but then I don't know where to go because it's not a simple 30/250000 probability in each of the 2500 times, considering that it couldn't be one of my students each of the 2500 times.

Best Mini Golf

Searched the sub and didn't find an answer. Are there good mini golf places in town? Craziest courses? I Googled it and it didn't seem like many of the places had updated their pages in several years so I wasn't sure what was still open or not. Thanks!

Pro-Series 22 how many racks of ribs can I cook?

Yes, I can take a measuring tape with me to Costco or I can trust Google AI to tell me how long the average rack of baby backs is, but asking for experienced smokers.

I have a Pit Barrel and have smoke ribs many a time with it but got a Traeger Pro Series 22 as a promotion when we had our roof replaced last year. Haven't done ribs yet.

Does a rack fit perpendicularly? Or at an angle? How many do you do at once? Is there a space difference between baby backs and Saint Louis spare ribs? For that matter, have you found one or the other turns out better on a Traeger? I generally leaned towards Saint Louis on the Pit Barrel but want to hear from the more experienced cooks.

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

Any high school math teachers do quiz-based grading?

Pre-AP Algebra 2. I want to move from homework based to quiz based. I will assign homework but not take it as a grade. Then have a 5ish minute quiz over the homework at the start of every class. Trying to keep the AI-ing of homework to a minimum. Quizzes would be in Delta Math and I can block all other websites to some degree with Lightspeed, though I've caught some students using some AI app even though all websites are blocked.

I did this in a Pre-Cal class with some success several years ago. Idea being they are only graded on what they do in class, and it acts as a bell-ringer to get them working at the bell. When the time ends, the quiz disappears so they're out of luck.

Anyone done anything similar? What worked? What didn't? Did you have to adapt things for students with 504s?

I'm a teacher and I've been making a Google Doc of tips for the test. Not like "how to do an inference test" but like how to eliminate answers or certain MCQs (if your answer choices are hypotheses, eliminate anything with x-bar or p-hat, the null is always =, etc). It's very short right now. If there are any other teachers have test-taking tips, what would you add?
