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%

For the first question, it would be D: \frac{1}{3} ÷ 9. This is because to solve a division problem with fractions, you would need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For the second question, the answer would be D: 32. This can be solved by dividing 8 by \frac{1}{4} or 0.25. For the third question, it would be D. \frac{1}{12}. This can be solved by dividing \frac{1}{4} by 3. For the fourth question, the answer would be \frac{1}{12}. This can be found by flipping the 4, which would make it look like \frac{1}{4}, and multiplying it by \frac{1}{3}. For the last question, 1 would be B, 2 would be C, 3 would be C, and 4 would be A.

Hope this helps ^-^

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE Points Using the known angle, what side is known? What side is unknown? Use opposite, adjacent, or hypot
ruslelena [56]

4.

known side: opposite (150m)

unknown sides: adjacent and hypotenuse

using Tan to find the distance from the tower's base to the key.

why do we use Tan to find the distance?

the tower creates an angle of 72 degrees with the ground, which will be called α, and it is 150m high from the ground which is opposite ∠α. (shown in picture). we can see that the distance from the base of the tower to the key is the adjacent of the ∠α.

Tan α =  opposite / adjacent

=> Tan 72° = 150 / x

=> x = 150 / Tan 72°

=> x = 48.73795443 m = ~48.7m

5.

4.

known side: opposite (150m)

unknown sides: adjacent and hypotenuse

using Sin to find the distance that the ant travelled.

why do we use Sinn to find the distance?

the tower creates an angle of 72 degrees with the ground, which will be called α, and it is 150m high from the ground which is opposite ∠α. (shown in picture). the ant travelled along the tower's body, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle, from the top until reaching the ground.

Sin α =  opposite / hypotenuse

=> Sin 72° = 150 / x

=> x = 150 / Sin 72°

=> x = 157.7193336 m = ~157.7m

6.

(using unrounded numbers to calculate because there is a small difference in results if using the rounded numbers)

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 (pythago)

157.7^2 = 150^2 + 48.7^2

24875.3882 = 24875.3882 (correct)

Select the following lines that would be perpendicular to y = 3x + 1. (Select ALL correct)
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The line passing through points (1,4) and (4,3).

The line passing through points (1,-4) and (4,-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is y=3x+1

If it was perpendicular, it means the slope would be the negative reciprocal.

So the slope would be -1/3

9-8/6-3=1/3 (not negative) <u>No</u>

3-4/4-1=-1/3 <u>Yes</u>

-5+4/4-1=-1/3 <u>Yes</u>

6-3/5-4= 3/1 <u>No</u>
