Question:
You want to obtain cash by using an ATM, but it's dark and you can't see your card when you insert it. The card must be inserted with the front side up and the printing configured so that the beginning of your name enters first.
a. What is the probability of selecting a random position and inserting the card with the result that the card is inserted correctly?
b. What is the probability of randomly selecting the card's position and finding that it is incorrectly inserted on the first attempt, but it is correctly inserted on the second attempt? (Assume that the same position used for the first attempt could also be used for the second attempt.)
c. How many random selections are required to be absolutely sure that the card works because it is inserted correctly?
