1.
In total there are C(52, 13) ways that we can pick a hand, that is \frac{52!}{13!39!}


2.
P(a hand contains at least 3 kings)
                =P(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)+P(a hand contains 4 kings)

3.
first let's find P(a hand contains exactly 3 kings):

P(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)
              =n(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)/C(52, 13)
              
n(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)=C(4, 3)*C(48, 10)

where C(4,3) is the total number of ways we can pick 3 out of 4 kings,

C(48, 10) is the number of picking 10 letters to complete a hand, out of the 52-4=48 non-king cards.

so P(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)=[C(4, 3)*C(48, 10)]/C(52, 13)

4. with the same reasoning as in step 3:

P(a hand contains 4 kings)=n(a hand contains 4 kings)/C(52, 13)

                          = [C(4, 4)*C(48, 9]/C(52, 13)


5. 

P(a hand contains at least 3 kings)
                =P(a hand contains exactly 3 kings)+P(a hand contains 4 kings)

=[C(4, 3)*C(48, 10)]/C(52, 13)+ [C(4, 4)*C(48, 9)]/C(52, 13)

=\frac{C(4, 3)*C(48, 10)+C(4, 4)*C(48, 9)}{C(52, 13)}

=\frac{4* \frac{48!}{10!38!} + \frac{48!}{9!39!}}{ \frac{52!}{13!39!} }

simplify by 38! in the denominators and 48! in the numerators :

\frac{4* \frac{1}{10!} + \frac{1}{9!39}}{ \frac{52*51*50*49}{13!39} } 



now simplify by 9! in all denominators:

\frac{ \frac{4}{10}+  \frac{1}{39} }{ \frac{52*51*50*49}{13*12*11*10*39}}


\frac{ 0.426 }{ 9.7} =0.044

Solve the logarithmic equation with Properties of Logs
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Simplifying

logx + -4 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-4 + glox = 0

Solving

-4 + glox = 0

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + glox = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + glox = 0 + 4

glox = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4

glox = 4

Divide each side by 'lox'.

g = 4l-1o-1x-1

Simplifying

g = 4l-1o-1x-1

A set of equations is given below:
nexus9112 [7]

I would think this is many solutions, the reason is because, there is no specific answer (y) so, x could be anything because it would have to equal to y, which could also be anything! I hope im right! Sorry if im wrong!
