Given a set of\nelements which have weights and independent probabilities of being\n\"active\,\" the goal is t o construct a subset of active elements of\nmaximum weight. To form such a set\, we must \"probe\" elements\nsequentially to determine whether they are active.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T180553Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
