Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Even though the P(defective) changes from trial to trial, if the population is very large, the probabilities are very similar. For example, suppose the population has 10,000 items and 50 are defective. P(defective) on the first trial is 50/10,000 = 0.0050; if after 10 trials 45 defectives have been selected, P(defective) will be 45/9990 = 0.0045.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
