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

Evaluate the function.

Natali5045456 [20]

As you may already be familiar, these functions f(x) and g(x) are piecewise. They consist of multiple functions with different domains.

1. For #1, the given input is f(0). Since 0≤1, you should use the first equation to solve. f(0)=3(0)-1 ➞ f(0)=-1
2. Continue to evaluate the given input for the domains given. 1≤1, therefore f(1)=3(1)-1➞f(1)=2
3. 5>1, therefore f(5)=1-2(5)➞f(5)=-9
4. -4≤1; f(-4)=3(-4)-1➞f(-4)=-13
5. -3<0<1; g(0)=2
6. -3≤-3; g(-3)=3(-3)-1➞g(-3)=-10
7. 1≥1; g(1)=-3(1)➞g(1)=-3
8. 3≥1; g(3)=-3(3)➞g(3)=-9
9. -5≤-3; g(-5)=3(-5)-1➞g(-5)=-16

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Imagine a world in which only decimals, not fractions, are used. How would your life be different?

nataly862011 [7]

I used to hate fractions. But in time, you learn to love them. This is because there's a big difference between fractions and decimals, even though when you divide the actual fraction it comes out to a decimal. Decimals go on and on sometimes, and it would be impossible to write out all those numbers, especially when taking a timed test, for example. Fractions, in this case, would be much more useful (as long as you know how to use them to your advantage). Fractions are basically all those decimal numbers wrapped up into a single, simple division. It makes the outcome of your answer much more accurate than if you estimate every decimal you get throughout a math problem. The more you estimate throughout the problem-solving process, the less accurate your final answer will be. Hence why teachers will usually tell you to estimate when you're putting down the final answer. Fractions are complex at times, so it may be easier to use them in decimal form for certain situations (especially if the decimal form is short and sweet). A world without fractions will result in many, many inaccurate situations involving mathematical knowledge.
