You would do 300• 31/100 to get 90. I’m pretty sure that’s right

Find the probability of drawing 3 Aces at random from a deck of 52 ordinary playing cards if the cards are:_________

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

A) 1/2197

B) 1/5525

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome.

Since there are 52 random cards in a deck of card, the total outcome will be 52.

a) Also in a deck of card, there are 4 aces. If we are to select 3 aces with replacement, this means that each time we pick up an ace from the card, it was returned.

Pr(drawing an ace) = 4/52

Pr(drawing 3 aces and replacing it) = 4/52 *4/52*4/52

Pr(drawing 3 aces and replacing it) = 64/140,608

Pr(drawing 3 aces and replacing it) = 1/2197

b) If we pick 3 aces without replacement then each time we pick an ace, the total number cards keeps reducing.

Pr(picking the first ace) = 4/52

Pr(picking the second ace without replacing) = 3/51 (Since we didn't replace the first one, the total ace in the deck of card will reduce to 3 and the total will be 51)

Pr(picking the third ace without replacing) = 2/50 (since we didn't replace the first two aces, the total ace in the deck of card will reduce to 2 and the total will be 50)

Pr(drawing 3 aces without replacement) = 4/52*3/51*2/50

Pr(drawing 3 aces without replacement) = 24/132,600

Pr(drawing 3 aces without replacement) = 1/5525

How do you distinguish between multiples and factors of a number, and justify your evaluation of the LCM & GCF of a set of n

Reil [10]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

- Multiples of a number are the numbers after multiplying the number

by an integer

- Ex: The multiples of 2 are 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , .......... because 2 × 1 = 2 ,

2 × 4 = 4 , 2 × 3 = 6 and 2 × 4 = 8

- Factors of a number are the number multiplied together to get the

number

- Ex: The factors of 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 because 1 × 6 = 6 and 2 × 3 = 6

- Lowest common multiple of the set of numbers (LCM) is the

smallest number divisible by these numbers

- Ex: The lowest common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6 because 6 is divisible

by 2 and 3 and there is no number before it divisible by both

- Greatest common factor of the set of numbers (GCF) is the highest

common factor of these numbers

- Ex: The greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6 because

→ The factors of 12 are 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 6, 12

→ The factors of 18 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 9 , 18

→ The greatest common factor on both numbers is 6
