1. First, let us find the probability that the first card is a diamond.

Now, since we are given that there are four suits and there are, assumably, an equal number of cards in each suit, we can say that the probability of choosing a diamond card is 1/4. We can also write this out as such, where D = Diamond:

Pr(D) = no. of diamond cards / total number of cards

There are 52 cards in a deck, and 13 cards of each suit, thus:

Pr(D) = 13/52 = 1/4

2. Now we need to calculate the probability of not choosing a diamond as the second card.

In many cases, when given a problem that requires you to find the probability of something not happening, it may be easier to set it out as such:

Pr(A') = 1 - Pr(A)

ie. Pr(A not happening, or not A) = 1 - Pr(A happening, or A)

This works because the total probability is always 1 (100%), and it makes sense that to find the probability of A not happening, we take the total probability and subtract the probability of A actually happening.

Thus, given that we have already calculated that the probability of choosing a Diamond is 1/4, we can now set this out as such:

Pr(D') = 1 - Pr(D)

Pr(D') = 1 - 1/4

Pr(D') = 3/4

3. Now we come to the final step. To find the probability of something and then something else happening, we must multiply the two probabilities together. Thus, given that Pr(D) = 1/4 and Pr(D') = 3/4, we get:

Pr(D)*Pr(D') = (1/4)*(3/4)

= 3/16

Thus, the probability of choosing a diamond as the first card and then not choosing a diamond as the second card is 3/16.

the height of a house having three rooms of the dimensional 9 feet into 12 feet 14 feet into 16 feet and 12 feet into 14 feet re
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Amount required = 2,217,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the rooms are as follows;

Room 1; 9 feet × 12 feet

Room 2; 14 ft × 16 ft

Room 3; 12 ft × 14 ft

Perimeter of rooms;

P1 = 2(9 + 12) = 42 ft

P2 = 2(14 + 16) = 60 ft

P3 = 2(12 + 14) = 52 ft

Total perimeter; P = 42 + 60 + 52 = 154 ft

Height is 90 ft.

Thus, total area is;

A = 154 × 90

A = 13860 ft²

Rate of painting is 160 per Sq.ft.

Thus amount to paint entire area = 160 × 13860 = 2217600
