There are equal numbers of both red and black cards in a deck of 52.

Mathematics
1 answer:
amid [387]3 years ago

Answer:

A) there are 13 cards per suit and 4 suits, a total of 52 cards. So there are 13*2=26 red cards in a deck of 13*4=52, the odds of drawing a red card are 26/52=1/2=50%

B) Again outside knowledge is required, you name four suits but not their colors. Nonetheless, unless this is a very unusual deck, the diamonds and hearts are red, spades and clubs black. So that’s 2 red suits out of 4 suits. 2/4=1/2=50%

C) there are 2 black suits and 2 red suits. The odds of getting a red card are 2/(2+2)=2/4=1/2 or 50%

Each of those answers is a different way to figure the odds, they come out the same each time, as expected.

However, what if we assume that you mean… when drawing a 5 card poker hand? Or when Penn Jillette asks you “is this your card?”+ Or if you draw every card in the deck? Or if you are playing some macabre game in which you die if you draw the ace of spades but you may only stop drawing if you draw a red card?

There are myriad possible meanings to your question, I’ve just made the simplest assumption and given the odds on that… but my answer is woefully incomplete.

+ Hint, when Penn Jillette asks you “is this your card” your card is always the 3 of clubs. So… 0% chance.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

=204.13 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the side x, we can use sine to find the hypotenuse of the triangle with the angle marked 30°.

Sin 30 =x/hypotenuse.

sin 30 = 27/hyp

hyp= 27/sin 30

=54 inches

We can also find the adjacent as follows.

Cos 30 = adjacent/ 54

Adjacent= 54 cos 30

=46.77 inches

Using the angles marked 45 we can find the hypotenuse of the isosceles triangle.

sin 45= x/hypotenuse

sin 45 =27/hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 27/sin 45

=38.18 inches

The hypotenuse of both the triangles making the isosceles triangle are 38.18 inches long.

Perimeter = 54+ 46.77+27+ 38.18+38.18

=204.13 inches.

Adult red wolves vary in length from 137.16 cm to 168.64 cm. Estimate the difference in length between the longest and shortest
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

As per the statement:

Adult red wolves vary in length from 137.16 cm to 168.64 cm.

To find the difference in length between the longest and shortest of these wolves.

Longest length of wolves = 168.64 cm

Shortest length of wolves= 137.16 cm

Then;

\text{Difference of the length between the longest and shortest of these wolves} = \text{Length of longest wolves} -\text{Length of shortest wolves}

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Difference of the length between the longest and shortest of these wolves} = 168.64 - 137.16 = 31.48 cm

therefore, the difference in length between the longest and shortest of these wolves is 31.48 cm

9mph in still water it takes 5hrs longer to travel 74 miles upstream than downstream find the rate of current and round to neare
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The rate of current is 2.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed in the water when current is absent is 9 mph.

If the speed of the current is v mph then the upstream speed is (9 - v) mph and the downstream speed is (9 + v) mph.

Now, it takes 5 hours longer to travel 74 miles upstream than down stream, then we can write the equation as  

\frac{74}{9 - v} - \frac{74}{9 + v} = 5

⇒ \frac{2v}{81 - v^{2} } = \frac{5}{74}

⇒ 148v = 405 - 5v²

⇒ 5v² + 148v - 405 = 0

Applying Sridhar Acharya's formula we can write  

v = \frac{-148 + \sqrt{148^{2} - 4(5)(-405) }  }{2(5)} (Neglecting the negative root)

⇒ v = \frac{- 148 + 173.2166}{10} = 2.5 mph (Rounded to the nearest 10th) (Answer)
