<h3>Answer: 17 cards</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

The best case scenario is that you pull 5 cards from the same suit in a row (eg: 5 spades in a row).  However, we have to plan for the worst case scenario that way we can guarantee to have 5 cards in one suit without having to look at the cards.

The worst case scenario is that you pull cards such that you get one suit at a time (eg: spade, heart, club, diamond). On the 5th draw, we finally get a card that repeats a suit.

If we repeat the sequence {spade, heart, club, diamond} in that order a total of two times, then we'll have 8 cards with 2 cards per suit.

Doing that sequence four times we'll have 4*4 = 16 cards and 4 cards per suit. That 17th card will repeat a suit a fifth time and this is when we'll be guaranteed to have at least 5 cards of one suit.

How can the scaling of a line graph be used to mislead a reader?
Anna [14]
Misleading may be present even t<span>hough all graphs may share the same data, and even the </span>slope<span> of the </span><span>data is the same. If the way the data is plotted is not correct, it can change the visual appearance of the angle made by the line on the graph. This is so because each plot has different scales on its vertical axis. As the scales are not correctly shown then there is where the misleading appears.</span>
