Answer:

It must be closer to the lowest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a simple and a general explanation to it. As it gets higher up from the sea level, the elevation gets closer to the lowest point simply because the distance from the highest point keeps decreasing as you get closer. The elevation is the distance left between the highest point and the current point.

A single card is drawn from a 52 standard deck. Find the conditional probability that the card is a heart given that it's a jack

MakcuM [25]

You can use the formula for conditional probability as Puzzling did. However in this problem it is easier just to restrict yourself and enumerate the cases that are left.

There are 4 jacks. One of them is a heart. So the probability is 1/4. 

If you want to look at what the formula for conditional probability does, it adjusts your probability by restricting the "universe". 

P(heart and jack)/P(jack) 
= (1/52)/(4/52) = 1/4

(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2\implies (a^2+2ab+b^2)-(a^2-2ab+b^2)

a^2+2ab+b^2-a^2+2ab-b^2\implies 2ab+2ab\implies 4ab

4(3^{1001})(4^{1002})=k(4^{1001}\cdot 3^{1001})\implies \cfrac{4(3^{1001})(4^{1002})}{4^{1001}\cdot 3^{1001}}=k
\\\\\\
4\cdot \cfrac{3^{1001}}{3^{1001}}\cdot \cfrac{4^{1002}}{4^{1001}}=k\implies 4\cdot 4^{1002}4^{-1001}=k\impliedby
