to have a length of 4.5 inches. Each time he presses the reduce button on the copier, the copy is reduced by 12%. Javier and his boss had an argument, because Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request. His boss said that pressing the button 5 times would result in a length less than the desired 4.5 inches. Which of the following conclusions can be made? Javier is correct and he should press the button five times Javier's boss is correct and he should press the button five times. Javier is correct and he should not press the button five times.

Answer:

Javier's boss is correct and he should not press the button five times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario says that Javier claimed that pressing the button 5 times would be enough to fulfill the customer's request.

We shall check the claim.

We will start at 8 inches.

Press once, 8-0.12*8=7.04 inches.

Pressing again, we get 7.04-.12*7.04=6.1952 inches.

Again we get 6.1952-.12*6.1952 = 5.451776 inches.

Again we get 5.451776-.12*5.451776 =4.79756288 inches.

Again we get 4.79756288-.12*4.79756288= 4.221855334 inches.

We can clearly see here, that pressing 4 or 5 times does not get 4.5 inches exactly as claimed by Javier.

Therefore, Javier's boss is correct and he should not press the button five times.

Lacy draws a diamond from a standard deck of 52 cards. Without replacing the first card, she then proceeds to draw a second card
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) i) No

ii) Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade without replacement is 0.0637.

b) i) Yes

ii) Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade with replacement is 0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Without replacement:

i) Are these events independent?

No, because the both events are dependent. because a card taken out of the deck is not replaced back before taking out the other card so the chances of event occur change.

ii) Determine the probability of drawing a diamond and then a spade without replacement.

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = (Probability of drawing a diamond) * (Probability of drawing a spade)

Probability of drawing a diamond :

Total cards in deck = 52

Diamonds = 13

Probability of drawing a diamond  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a spade:

Total cards in deck after taking diamond = 52 -1 =51

Spades = 13

Probability of drawing a spade  = 13/51

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = 13/52 * 13/51

= 169/2652

=0.0637

So, Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade without replacement  is 0.0637

Part b) With replacements

i) Are these events independent?

Input Yes or No:

Yes, these events are independent because a card taken out of the deck is replaced back before taking out the other card so the chances of event occur doesn't change.

ii) Determine the probability of drawing a diamond and then a spade with replacement.

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = (Probability of drawing a diamond) * (Probability of drawing a spade)

Probability of drawing a diamond :

Total cards in deck = 52

Diamonds = 13

Probability of drawing a diamond  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a spade:

Total cards in deck after replacing diamond = 52

Spades = 13

Probability of drawing a spade  = 13/52

Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade = 13/52 * 13/52

= 169/2704

=0.0625

So, Probability of drawing a diamond and then spade with replacement is 0.0625
