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

Justify each step x/3-7=11 x/3=18 x=6
Schach [20]

This is the steps for equation solving for the value of x,

x/3-7 = 11

now 7 goes to the other side of equation by changing the sign from - to +,

x/3 = 11 + 7

x/3 = 18

now when we multiply both sides of equation with 3 or 3 goes to the other side of equation and multiply with 18 leaving x alone here for finding the value of x,

and we get, x = 54

at the end of equation we get x = 54, if the equation was in the form 3x - 7 = 11, then we will get x = 6

A rectangular room is 11 feet by 18 feet. The ceilings are 10 feet high. If a gallon of paint covers 250 square feet. How many g
Bingel [31]

Answer:

2.32 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of all 4 sides of the room, with the equation A = lw

11(10)

= 110 (for 2 of the walls)

18(10)

= 180 (for the other 2 walls)

Add these up:

110 + 110 + 180 + 180

= 580

Then, divide this by 250:

580/250

= 2.32

So, 2.32 gallons of paint will be needed to paint the room.

This week laptops are 25 percent off if a laptop cost $340 what is it's sale price
Nata [24]
The sale price is 255 dollars.
To get the answer you find out that ten percent of 340 is 34 dollars. then you double the percentage which brings you to 68 dollars. but you still have 5 percent left over. Half of the ten percent is 17 dollars. finally you add 68 plus 17 which gives you 84 dollars. Lastly subtract 84 dollars from 340 which gives you 255

Hope this helps! :)

If line b is perpendicular to line a, and line c is perpendicular to line a, what is the slope of line c ?
Shalnov [3]
To answer this question, we must find the slope of line b.
 We have then:
 b = (3 - (- 2)) / (2 - (- 3))
 b = 5/5
 b = 1
 Since the lines b and c are parallel, it follows that their slopes are equal.
 Then
 mc = b = 1
 Answer:
 
The slope of line c is:
 mc = 1
