Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting a 7 + Probability of not getting a 7 = 1.

Odds against drawing a 7 = Probability of not getting a 7.

We could calculate the probability of getting a 7 and subtract 1 from it to get the answer.

There a four sevens in a deck of card, one of each kind.

Probability of getting a 7 = $P(7) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$

$\implies P(not \hspace{1mm} getting \hspace{1mm} a \hspace{1mm} 7) = 1 - P(7)$

$\implies$ P(not getting a 7) $= 1 - \frac{1}{13} = \frac{12}{13}$

Answer:

False, counterexample below

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the unit vectors of R^3 by $e_1=(1,0,0), e_2=(0,1,0), e_3=(0,0,1)$ . Now consider $v_1=e_1, v_2=2e_1$ and $v_3=e_3$ . We have that $v_1, v_2,v_3 \in \mathbb{R}^3$ . Also, the vector $v_3$ is not a linear combination of $v_1, v_2$ because any linear combination of these two vectors will have third coordinate zero, but v_3 has third coordinate 1 so they can't be equal.

However, the set $\{v_1, v_2,v_3\}$ is not linearly independent, because $2v_1-v_2+0v_3=0$ is a non-trivial linear combination of these vectors that equals zero.
