If we take the number of Zebras to be x and that of peacocks to be y
Then x + y = 14
A zebra has 4 legs while a peacock has 2 legs, 
Therefore the total number of legs will be 4x + 2y  which is equal to 36 .
Therefore, we have two equations 
    x + y = 14
   4x + 2y = 36    solving them simultaneously using elimination
   
4x +2y = 36
2x + 2y = 28 ( multiplying the first equation by 2 to eliminate y)
     2x = 8 ( subtracting the equations)
        x = 4  
       y = 14 -(4) 
          = 10
Therefore, there are 4 zebras and 10 peacocks in the zoo

Three cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement. Find the probability that the first card is an ace,
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

4.82\cdot 10^{-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of cart, we have:

a = 4 (aces)

t = 4 (three)

j = 4 (jacks)

And the total number of cards in the deck is

n = 52

So, the probability of drawing an ace as first cart is:

p(a)=\frac{a}{n}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}=0.0769

At the second drawing, the ace is not replaced within the deck. So the number of cards left in the deck is

n-1=51

Therefore, the probability of drawing a three at the 2nd draw is

p(t)=\frac{t}{n-1}=\frac{4}{51}=0.0784

Then, at the third draw, the previous 2 cards are not replaced, so there are now

n-2=50

cards in the deck. So, the probability of drawing a jack is

p(j)=\frac{j}{n-2}=\frac{4}{50}=0.08

Therefore, the total probability of drawing an ace, a three and then a jack is:

p(atj)=p(a)\cdot p(j) \cdot p(t)=0.0769\cdot 0.0784 \cdot 0.08 =4.82\cdot 10^{-4}
