P(King or black card)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are looking at a standard deck of playing cards, we have 52 cards total.

*13 of each suit (there are 4 suits; spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds)

*2 kinds of colors-black or red. Half the deck is black and half the deck is red. There are 26 reds and 26 blacks.

*There is 1 king of each suit and since there are 4 suits, then there are 4 kings.

We can make other observations.

P(King or black card)

=P(King)+P(black card)-P(king and black card)

(We are subtracting out anything that counted twice in the "and" part)

=4/52 +   26/52         -    2/52

Notes:

-P(king)=4/52 comes from there being 4 kings in all in a deck of 52 playing cards.

-P(black card)=26/52 comes from that half the deck is black (and the other half is red) in a deck of 52 playing cards. Technically, we could have just said this equal 1/2 here instead. I will leave as 26/52 for now so I can have a common denominator already setup.

-P(king and black card)=2/52 comes from there being 2 black cards that are kings in a deck of 52 playing cards.  We have to get rid of these 2 from the 4+26 since if we don't we would have counted them twice)

Let's simplify:

=(4+26-2)/52

=(30-2)/52

=28/52

Let's reduce:

=(28/4)/(52/4)

=7/13

Why are angles opposite each other when two lines cross called vertical angles?
Nezavi [6.7K]
They are called vertical angles because the definition of vertical is: <span>in a direction, or having an alignment, such that the top is directly above the bottom. The "angles opposite each other when two lines cross" match the definition.</span>

What are the steps of determine an inverse of a function?
Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, replace f(x) with y . ...

Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

Solve the equation from Step 2 for y . ...

Replace y with f−1(x) f − 1 ( x ) . ...

Verify your work by checking that (f∘f−1)(x)=x ( f ∘ f − 1 ) ( x ) = x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x ( f − 1 ∘ f ) ( x ) = x are both true.
