At the beginning of each month you select your days off, and you pick 5 days at random in January to go surfing. Let r be the number of days the surf is at least 6 feet.  What is the probability of getting 4 or more days when the surf is at least 6 feet? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)  What is the probability of getting fewer than 2 days when the surf is at least 6 feet? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
