A card is picked from a standard deck of 52 cards. Determine the odds against and the odds in favor of selecting a red face card

timama [110]

<h3>The probability of picking a red face card from the deck is $(\frac{3}{26} )$ </h3><h3>The probability of NOT picking a red face card from the deck is $(\frac{23}{26} )$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards in the deck = 52

The total number of red( Diamond + Hearts) face cards in the given deck

= 2 Red Queens + 2 Red jacks + 2 Red kings = 6 cards

Let E : Event of picking a red face card from the deck

Now , P( any event) = $\frac{\textrm{The number of favorable observations}}{\textrm{Total number of observations}}$

So, here P(Picking a red face card) = $\frac{\textrm{The number of red face cards}}{\textrm{Total number of cards}} = (\frac{6}{52} ) = (\frac{3}{26})$

Hence, the probability of picking a red face card from the deck is $(\frac{3}{26} )$

Now, as we know P (any event NOT A) = 1 - P(any event A)

So, P(NOT Picking a red face card) = 1 - P(Picking a red face card)

$= 1 - (\frac{3}{26} ) = \frac{26-3}{26} = (\frac{23}{26})$

Hence, the probability of NOT picking a red face card from the deck is $(\frac{23}{26} )$

Solve the following equations for x<br><br> 13−(2x+2)=2(x+2)+3x

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 2 on the right and the -1 on the left: 13 - 2x - 2 = 2x + 4 + 3x

Combine like terms on each side of the equation: 11 - 2x = 5x + 4

Add 2x to both sides, and subtract 4 from each side: 7 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7: x = 7

0.00952 in scientific notation

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

hopefully tht example will help u

Step-by-step explanation:

To change 0.0002 to scientific notation, move the decimal to the right 4 places so that you get 2. The exponent on the base 10 will be -4 because the decimal was moved to the right 4 places. So 0.0002 in scientific notation is 2×10−4.
