Answer:

What is the total number of possible hands?

nCx = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

For this case n = 52 and x =3 and if we replace we got:

\frac{52!}{3! (52-3)!}= \frac{52!}{3! 49!}= \frac{52*51*50*49!}{3! 49!}= \frac{52*51*50}{3*2*1}= 22100

So then we have a total of 22100 ways in order to select 3 cards from a total of 52 cards.

What is the total number of possible hands if the hand contains exactly one heart?

For the possible cases we can do this:

(13C1) *(39C2)= \frac{13!}{1! 12!} \frac{39!}{2! 37!}= 13 \frac{39*38*37!}{2 37!}= 13 *\frac{39*38}{2}= 13*741 =9633

Since we have 13 hearts and we want to select 1 and the two remain cards are non hearts. So we have 9633 ways in order to have only one heart in a hand of 3, and the probability would be:

p = \frac{9633}{22110}= 0.436

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the total number of possible hands?

For this case we assume that w ehave an standard deck of 52 cards and we want to know on how many ways we can select 3 cards from the total of 52, so for this case since the order no matter we can use the formula for combination given by:

nCx = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

For this case n = 52 and x =3 and if we replace we got:

\frac{52!}{3! (52-3)!}= \frac{52!}{3! 49!}= \frac{52*51*50*49!}{3! 49!}= \frac{52*51*50}{3*2*1}= 22100

So then we have a total of 22100 ways in order to select 3 cards from a total of 52 cards.

What is the total number of possible hands if the hand contains exactly one heart?

For this case we need to remember that in a tandard deck we have 13 hearts and we want that in the 3 selected card we have just one heart, and we can find this probability using the definition of empirical probability:

p =\frac{Possible}{Total}

Where the total cases on this case are 22100

For the possible cases we can do this:

(13C1) *(39C2)= \frac{13!}{1! 12!} \frac{39!}{2! 37!}= 13 \frac{39*38*37!}{2 37!}= 13 *\frac{39*38}{2}= 13*741 =9633

Since we have 13 hearts and we want to select 1 and the two remain cards are non hearts. So we have 9633 ways in order to have only one heart in a hand of 3, and the probability would be:

p = \frac{9633}{22110}= 0.436

Evaluate the expression without using a calculator<br><br> Tan(arccos3/4)
julia-pushkina [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (√7)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between tangent and cosine is ...

  tan(α) = √(1/cos(α)² -1)

The cosine of the angle is given as 3/4, so the tangent is ...

  tan(arccos(3/4)) = √(1/(3/4)² -1) = √(16/9 -1) = √(7/9)

  tan(arccos(3/4)) = (√7)/3

Please help me with my homework I don't understand it ​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Part A:

0.1111111111111 = 1/9

Part B:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

When I put 0.111111111 into my calculator I get a conversion of 1/9.

Part B:

The fraction 1/9 means that for every 9 kids he surveyed, 1 of them replied "yes."

So covert 1/9 into x/27

27/9 = 3 which means 9 goes into 27, 3 times.

Multiply 1 by 3.

1 x 3 = 3

Put into fraction form

3/27

This means 3 students out of 27 answered "yes."
