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

Determine whether the events are independent.Numbers are written on slips of paper in a hat; one person pulls out a slip of pape
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Not independent

Explanation:

Two events are not independent/dependent if the result of one event affects the outcome of the other. In the case above, numbers are picked without replacement, therefore if one slip is picked then the other slip will be picked(slips are picked only once not twice or more as in independent events). Events would be independent if there was a replacement.

Are the ratios 6:4 and 19:12 equivalent?
MrRa [10]

Answer: No, they are not.

Step-by-step explanation: To see if ratios are equivalent, you have to simplify them. 6:4 can be simplified to 3:2 but 19:12 cannot be simplified anymore. Since 3:2 is not equal to 19:12, they are not equivalent.

Solve for x<br> A) 42<br> B) 40<br> C) 45<br> D) 38
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similarity theorem, we have the following:

\frac{24}{24 - 15} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

Solve for x

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

Cross multiply

24(x - 25) = x(9)

24x - 600 = 9x

Subtract 24x from each side

- 600 = 9x - 24x

- 600 = -15x

Divide both sides by -15

40 = x

x = 40
