If you draw four cards at random from a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that all 4 cards have distinct charac

There are \binom{52}4 ways of drawing a 4-card hand, where

\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

is the so-called binomial coefficient.

There are 13 different card values, of which we want the hand to represent 4 values, so there are \binom{13}4 ways of meeting this requirement.

For each card value, there are 4 choices of suit, of which we only pick 1, so there are \binom41 ways of picking a card of any given value. We draw 4 cards from the deck, so there are \binom41^4 possible hands in which each card has a different value.

Then there are \binom{13}4 \binom41^4 total hands in which all 4 cards have distinct values, and the probability of drawing such a hand is

\dfrac{\dbinom{13}4 \dbinom41^4}{\dbinom{52}4} = \boxed{\dfrac{2816}{4165}} \approx 0.6761

Solve for x please!!!!
AleksAgata [21]

11) Since the triangle has a pair of congruent base angles, it is an isosceles triangle which means that the two pairs of legs are congruent.

Make them equal to each other in an equation.

5x = x + 20

Subtract x from both sides.

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 5

12) The two legs are congruent so that means the base angles must be congruent. First find the measure of the base angles. Create an equation:

x + x + 50 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 50 = 180

Subtract 50 from both sides.

2x = 130

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 65

Now make the base angle plus x equal 180, because they form a straight line.

65 + x = 180

Subtract 65 from both sides.

x = 115

13) You know the vertex angle (top angle) is 90 degrees because it is supplementary to a right angle. The triangle is isosceles because the two legs are congruent, so make the base angles plus 90 add up to 180 in an equation.

x + x + 90 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 90 = 180

Subtract 90 from both sides.

2x = 90

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 45
