Astudent who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, a and b. if topic a is chosen, the student will order two books through interlibrary loan, whereas if topic b is chosen, the student will order four books. the student believes that a good paper necessitates receiving and using at least half the books ordered for either topic chosen. if the probability that a book ordered through interlibrary loan actually arrives in time is .9 and books arrive independently of one another, which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper? what if the arrival probability is only .5 instead of .9?

Use the spider tool located on page 1 of this activity to draw a 12-pointed star for the new logo. (hint: if the spider rotates 360 degrees -- or 720 degrees or 1080 degrees -- she will be facing in the same direction in which she started. when the spider is done drawing, you want her to be facing in the same direction in which she started. she'll be making 12 rotations, all the same size, so each rotation must be some multiple of 360/12 = 30 degrees.) urgently. been stuck on this problem for around 45 minutes now.! it should be easy if you're smart enough
