Answer:

0.000024

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first player gets exactly five hearts, there are 39 cards left, 8 of which are hearts.

So, the probability of getting one heart is 8/39, for the second heart the probability is 7/38 and 6/37 and 5/36 for the 3rd and 4th hearts.

There are still 4 hearts in the deck, and the probability of getting a non heart is (35-4)/35=31/35, (34-4)/34=30/34,..., (27-4)/27=23/27 for the next 9 cards.

<em>As the event of taking a card is independent of the previous result</em>, the probability the second player gets exactly 4 hearts is

(8/39)*(7/38)*(6/37)*(5/36)*(31/35)*(30/34)***(23/27)

= 0.000024

____ [38]

To find this I would use the pythagorean theorem which is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since we already know c = hypotenuse, and a side of the shorter sides we can plug them it like this:

11^2 + b^2 = 12^2

121 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 23

√23 = 4.79

Round:

B. 4.8 would be your answer!

What is 5/8 divided by 32
Citrus2011 [14]
First you need to convert 32 into a fraction, so just add 1 as the denominator; 5/8 ÷ 32/1. But you can't divide fractions, so multiply by the reciprocal. 5/8 · 1/32. You should get 5/256 as your answer. I hope that helped!
