Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since 30÷45 = 2/3 then

The space taken by a small book is equal to

the space taken by 2/3 a large book.

…………………………………………………

<u><em>Calculating the number of large book corresponding to 23 small books</em></u> :

= 23×(2÷3) + 3

= 18.333333333333 (large book)

Then ,Kevin can pack the shelf with (at most) : 30 - 19 = 11 more large books

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards. If the 52 cards are distributed in a random manner among four players in such a wa

Mkey [24]

Answer:

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards

Remaining card = 52 - 12 = 40

So,

Total number of ways in which 12 picture card is distributed = $\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}$

Now,

The Total number of ways in which Remaining cards are distributed = $\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}$

So,

Total number of ways of getting 3 picture card and remaining card = $\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}$ × $\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}$

= $\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }$

Now,

Total number of ways to distribute 52 cards so that each people get 13 card = $\frac{52!}{13! 13! 13! 13!} = \frac{52!}{ (13!)^{4} }$

∴ The probability = $\frac{\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }}{\frac{52!}{(13!)^{4} }}$

= $\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }$ × $\frac{(13!)^{4} }{ 52! }$

= $\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }$ × $\frac{(13.12.11.10!)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41.40! }$

= $\frac{12!}{(3!)^{4} }$ × $\frac{(13.12.11)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}$

= $\frac{479,001,600}{(6)^{4} }$ × $\frac{(1716)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}$

= 0.0324

∴ we get

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324
