Dropping a piece of buttered toast will theoretically land butter-side down with a probability of 0.65. Some students decided to test this theory and dropped five pieces of buttered toast. All five landed butter-side down. One of the students claims that the next piece of buttered toast dropped will land butter-side up because it is due to happen. Is the student’s reasoning correct?

Yes, the students need to start dropping buttered toast to land butter up to get back to 0.65.
No, the probability of buttered toast landing butter-side down is 0.65 over a large number of trials.
No, if buttered toast lands butter-side down five times in a row, the probability must be higher than 0.65.
Yes, it is unlikely that five pieces of dropped buttered toast will land butter-side down, so butter up must be due.

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
