A student is getting ready to take an important oral examination and is concerned about the possibility of having an "on" day or an "off" day. He figures that if he has an on day, then each of his examiners will pass him, independently of each other, with probability .8, whereas if he has an off day, this probability will be reduced to .4. Suppose that the student will pass the examination if a majority of the examiners pass him. If the student feels that he is twice as likely to have an off day as he is to have an on day, should he request an examination with 3 examiners or with 5 examiners?

Abox contains 1 plain pencil and 4 pens. a second box contains 5 color pencils and 5 crayons. one item from each box is chosen at random. what is the probability that a plain pencil from the first box and a color pencil from the second box are selected? write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

You spin the spinner shown below once. each sector shown has an equal area. what is p(beaver ) p(beaver)? if necessary, round your answer to 2 2 decimal places.

For this option, you will work individually. the pythagorean theorem can be used in many real-world scenarios. part 1 write your own real-world scenario where the pythagorean theorem can be applied to find a missing piece. you may choose to write a problem that is two- or three-dimensional in nature. be sure that you will be able to draw a diagram of your scenario. write out your problem and submit it for part 1. be sure to end your scenario with a question. part 2 draw a diagram of the scenario you created in part 1. you may draw by hand and scan and upload your drawing or create a computer-generated drawing for submission. be sure to label all parts and dimensions of the drawing. part 3 solve the question that you posed in part 1. show all of your steps in answering the question. for this option, you will need to submit all three parts for full credit—your real-world problem and question, the diagram that you created, and your work solving the problem, showing all steps. * note that your instructor is looking for your own original idea. while it is acceptable to use the internet for research and inspiration, academic integrity policies apply.
