Answer:

a. 1/13

b. 1/78

c. 1/4

d. 1/12

e. 1/6

f. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets write some basic data

There are total 52 cards.
26 cards are red and 26 cards are black
Out of 26 red cards; 13 cards are of diamond and 13 cards are of heart
Out of 26 black cards; 13 cards are of spade and 13 cards are of clubs
In spade, clubs, heart and diamond there is one card of ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, King, Queen, Jack

a. result is a queen

Each set has one queen; 1 of spade, 1 of clubs, 1 of heart, 1 of heart

There are total 4 queens

Total number of cards is 52

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Probability = 4/52

Probability = 1/13

b. result is a queen result is a face card

From my understanding, this question is result is a queen given that result is a face card.

Queen: 4 cards

Face card means King, Queen and Jack

Each set has one King, one Queen and one Jack

There are total 4 sets

Therefore, there are 4 Kings, 4 Queens and 4 Jacks

Face cards: 12-4 (because 4 queens have already been taken out) = 8

Total number of cards: 52-4 (because 4 queens have already been taken out) = 48

Probability (A|B) = P(A) * P(A|B)

P(A) = result is a queen = 4/52 = 1/13

P(A|B) = result is a face card = 8/48 = 1/6

Probability (A|B) = P(A) * P(A|B)

Probability (A|B) = 1/13 * 1/6

Probability (A|B) = 1/78 or 0.01282

c. result is a heart

Out of the 52 cards, there are 26 red cards and out of the 26 red cards, there are 13 cards of heart

Heart = 13 cards

Total number of cards = 52 cards

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Probability = 13/52

Probability = 1/4

d. result is a heart | result is a red card

Result is a heart = P(A) = 13/52 = 1/4

Result is a red card=26/52 Total number of red cards is 26 but 13 cards (heart) are already taken out so 13 will be subtracted from the numerator and denominator

= 13/39 = 1/3

Result is a heart given that result is a red card P(A|B) = 1/3

Probability (A|B) = P(A) * P(A|B)

Probability (A|B) = 1/4 * 1/3

Probability (A|B) = 1/12

e. result is a heart result is a black card

Result is a heart = P(A) = 13/52 = 1/4

Result is a black card=26/52 Total number of cards is 52 but 13 cards (heart) are already taken out so 13 will be subtracted from the denominator

= 26/39 = 2/3

Result is a heart given that result is a black card P(A|B) = 2/3

Probability (A|B) = P(A) * P(A|B)

Probability (A|B) = 1/4 * 2/3 = 1/6

f. result is a heart result is not a diamond

Result is a heart = P(A) = 13/52 = 1/4

Result is not a diamond = there are 13 diamonds in a deck so cards that are not diamond are 52-13 = 39

Total cards = 52 - 13 (because hearts are already taken out) = 39

= 39/39 = 1

Probability (A|B) = P(A) * P(A|B)

Probability (A|B) = 1/4 * 1 = 1/4

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2. We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here: r2. Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

20 20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9 r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9). Thus, we have:

20r2 (r2 + 9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or ------------------

(r2 + 9)(r2) (r2 + 9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2). This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2. Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.

Answers:

Vertex
3
middle

If an angle is labeled with a single letter, that letter represents the  vertex  of the angle.

If more than one angle has the same vertex, you must use  3  points to name the angle. The middle  point named must be the vertex.

=================================================================

Explanation:

If we have a single triangle, and no other extra lines, then we can use single letters to name the three angles. Each vertex of the triangle corresponds to the vertex of that angle.

If you were to draw many triangles, in which some may or may not overlap, you'll mostly likely need to name the angle using 3 letters. This is so you are very specific about which angle you're talking about. The middle letter is always the vertex. The left and right letters are points on the arms of the angle. The order of the left and right letters doesn't matter as long as the middle letter stays the same. So something like angle ABC is the same as angle CBA.

The coordinate of the vertices for square CDEF translated 3 units right and 4 units up if the vertices are C(-3,1), D(1,5), E(5,

ELEN [110]

The statement is false because not all the corresponding point have been translated correctly from the original.

Here are the correct answers:

C: (-3, 1) to (0,5). CORRECT!
D: (1,5) to (4, 9) INCORRECT IN THE CHOICE
E: (5, 1) to (8, 5) INCORRECT IN THE CHOICE
F: (1, -3) to (4, 1) INCORRECT IN THE CHOICE
