A 10 meter by 10 meter plot of land, is divided into a grid of 100 squares. 300 seeds are scattered on this plot. Assume that each seed falls at random, so that it is equally likely to fall on any of the 100 squares. Consider the square in the upper left hand corner. What is the probability that exactly 4 seeds fall in it? What is the probability that 0 seeds fall in it?
