In the game of blackjack played with one​ deck, a player is initially dealt 2 different cards from the 52 different cards in the

deck. A winning​ "blackjack" hand is won by getting 1 of the 4 aces and 1 of 16 other cards worth 10 points. The two cards can be in any order. Find the probability of being dealt a blackjack hand. What approximate percentage of hands are winning blackjack​ hands?

Answer:

P =4.83\%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the number of possible ways to select 2 cards an ace and a card of 10 points.

There are 4 ace in the deck

There are 16 cards of 10 points in the deck

To make this calculation we use the formula of combinations

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Where n is the total number of letters and r are chosen from them

The number of ways to choose 1 As is:

4C1 = 4

The number of ways to choose a 10-point letter is:

16C1 = 16

Therefore, the number of ways to choose an Ace and a 10-point card is:

4C1 * 16C1 = 4 * 16 = 64

Now the number of ways to choose any 2 cards from a deck of 52 cards is:

52C2 =\frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!}

52C2 = 1326

Therefore, the probability of obtaining an "blackjack" is:

P = \frac{4C1 * 16C1}{52C2}

P = \frac{64}{1326}

P = \frac{32}{663}

P =0.0483

P =4.83\%

<u>Answer:</u>

Probability = 0.0483

Percentage = 4.83%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that a blackjack hand played with one deck consists of:

1 of the 4 aces = \frac{4}{52}

So 1 out of the 16 cards worth 10 points will be equal to = \frac{16}{52}

Finding the probability of getting a blackjack hand assuming that the cards were not replaced:

P (blackjack hand) =  P(1st ace) × P(2nd 10 point card) +  P(1st 10 point card) × P(2nd ace)

P (blackjack hand) = \frac{4}{52} \times \frac{16}{51} + \frac{16}{52} \times \frac{4}{51} = 0.04827

Percentage of getting blackjack hand = 4.83%

which of these shows the result of using the first equation to substitute for y in the second equation, then combining like term
Furkat [3]

Answer:

C. \Rightarrow \bold{8x = 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two equations:

y=2x ........ (1)\\ 2x+3y=16.......(2)

To find:

The correct option when value of y is substituted to 2nd equation using the 1st equation.

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the substitution method.

Substitution method is the method to provide solutions to two variables when we have two equations and two variables.

In substitution method, we find the value of one variable in terms of the other variable and put this value in the other equation.

Now, the other equation becomes only single variable and then we solve for the variable's value.

Here, we have two equations and value of one varible is:

y=2x

Let us put value of y in 2nd equation:

2x+3y=16\\\Rightarrow 2x + 3(2x) = 16\\\Rightarrow 2x + 6x = 16\\\Rightarrow \bold{8x=16}

So, the correct answer is option C. \Rightarrow \bold{8x = 16}
