A standard deck of cards is dealt to four players, each receiving thirteen cards. If the first player gets exactly five hearts,

what is the chance the second player gets exactly four hearts?

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

Dennis walks from (–5, –2) to (–5, 5) on the map. Which expression represents the distance that he walked? |-2| + |5| |-5 + 5| |
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

|-2| + |5|

Step-by-step explanation:

Dennis walks from (–5, –2) to (–5, 5) on the map.

Point on the format (x,y). On the x-coordinate, he stayed at the same position, x = -5, so it does not enter the distance calculation.

On the y-coordinate, he went from -2 to 5, so the distance is of:

d = 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = |5| + |2| = |5| + |-2| = 7

So the correct option is |-2| + |5|

Hello there! The value of x is 20 or -20

"20 or - 20" is one answer so you are supposed to answer 20 or -20, not choose only one.

Step-by-step explanation:

\large{ \frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {5}^{2} }  =  {4}^{2} }

First, we simplify 5² and 4²

\large{ \frac{ {x}^{2} }{25}  = 16}

Multiply the whole equation by 25 to get rid of the denominator.

\large{ \frac{ {x}^{2} }{25} (25) = 16(25)} \\  \large{ {x}^{2}  = 400}

Square both sides and solve the equation.

\large{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} }  =  \pm{ \sqrt{400} }}

Also don't forget to write "plus or minus" symbol when we are solving a quadratic equation by squaring both sides.

\large{x = \pm{20}}

(3m±4/5n)2<br>solve this question<br>​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(3m-4/5)2  

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ——————————

     52    

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           4

Simplify   —

           5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        4

 (3m -  —)2

        5

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          3m     3m • 5

    3m =  ——  =  ——————

          1        5    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m • 5 - (4)     15m - 4

————————————  =  ———————

     5              5    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (15m - 4)

(—————————)2

     5    

Step  3  :

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ———

Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob, then she will have $4$ times as much
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: 31 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the following:

Alice's amount = P

Bob's amount = Q

Amount received = n

If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.

P + n = 4(Q - n)

P + n = 4Q - 4n

P = 4Q - 4n - n

P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)

If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob

P - n = 3(Q + n)

P - n = 3Q + 3n

P = 3Q + 3n + n

P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)

Equating both equations - (1) and (2)

4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n

4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n

Q = 9n

Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)

From equation 2:

P = 3Q + 4n

Substituting Q = 9n

P = 3(9n) + 4n

P = 27n + 4n

P = 31n

Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q

Ratio = P:Q

31 : 9
