(a)

Answer to Problem 19HP
Explanation of Solution
Given:Many objects such as credit cards are shaped like golden rectangles. A golden rectangle is a rectangle in which the ratio of the length to the width is approximately 1.618 to 1. This ratio is called the golden ratio.
List of three more objects that are close to a golden ratio.
DNA molecules in human body: Dimension 34 long by 21 wide.
Flower petals: Dimension 55 by 34 petals.
The position of nose and mount follows golden ratio. The distance from bottom of cheek and eyes 3 by 2 .
Now make table and ratio of each dimension.
(b)
To describe: The golden ratio of each objects.
(b)

(n - 1)!arrow_forwardAmy and Samiha have a hat that contains two playing cards, one ace and one king. They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
