These are 6 questions and 6 answers.

To find each probability we will use the definition of probability:

Probability = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

1) <span>P(Jack or ten)
</span>

<span>Answer: 2/13 ≈ 0.12
</span>

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes: A standard deck of cards has 4 jacks and 4 tens, then those are 4 + 4 = 8 different positive outcomes.

ii) Possible outcomes: a standard deck of cards has 52 different cards, so, that is a total of 52 different possible outcomes

 
iii) Probability, P


P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 8 / 52 = 2/13 ≈ 0.15

<span> 2.P(red or black)
</span>

Answer: 1

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red and half of the cards are black, so they both add for the total of the cards = 52


ii) Possible outcomes: 52 cards


iii) Probaility, P 

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 52 / 52 = 1

<span> 3.P(queen or club)
</span>

Answer: 4/13 ≈ 0.31

Justification:


i) Positive outcomes

There are 4 Queens.

There are 1/4 of 52 clubs = 1/4 × 52 = 13 clubs.

But you cannot add all of them, because one club is the Quenn of Clubs.

Then, the total number of different Queens and clubs is 4 + 13 - 1 = 16



ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 16 /52 = 4 / 13 ≈ 0.31


<span> 4.P(red or ace)
</span>

Answer: 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54


Justification:


i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red: 26

There are 4 aces. 

Since 2 aces are red, the number of different red and aces cards is: 26 + 4 - 2 = 28

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different outcomes


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 28 / 52 = 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54

<span> 5.P(diamond or black)
</span><span>
</span>
Answer: 1/2 = 0.5

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

There are 52 / 4 = 13 diamonds

There are 26 black cards.


All the diamonds are black cards.

Then, the number of different diamond or black cards is 13 + 26 - 13 = 26

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards.

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 26 / 52 = 1/2 = 0.5

6.P(face card or spade)

Answer: 11/26 ≈ 0.42


Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Face cards are jacks, queens and kings. That is 3 × 4 = 12 different cards.

The spades are 13 cards.

Since, 3 of the faces are spade cards, the number of different cards of those types are 12 + 13 - 3 = 22


ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 22 / 52 = 11 / 26 ≈ 0.42

Deisha can build a fence in 15 hours, and Travis can build a fence in 12 hours. How long will it take them together to build a f
Basile [38]

Answer:

6\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Deisha's build rate = 1 fence per 15 hours = 1/15 fences per hour

Travis's build rate = 1 fence per 12 hours = 1/12 fences per hour

Working together, their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = 3/20 fences per hour

So it takes them 20/3 = 6 2/3 hours per fence

Which method of separation can be used for a homogeneous mixture?
nignag [31]
One of the methods of separation of homogeneous mixtures is called distillation and it is based on the various boiling points of the component of mixture. Heating the mixture, the component that has the lowest boiling point will evaporate and the separation can be done. the other method is called chromatography.so the answer is d.distillation! hope this helped!

What is ​ BC ​ ? <br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> units
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

BC = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = AC since it is an isosceles triangle

4x+1 = 2x+23

subtract 2x from each side

4x-2x+1 = 2x-2x+23

2x +1 = 23

subtract 1 from each side

2x+1 -1 = 23-1

2x = 22

divide by 2

2x/2 =22/2

x =11

BC = 3x-8

BC = 3(11) -8

BC =33-8

BC = 25
