Answer:

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes

The combinations formula is important in this problem:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes

You want 2 queens. Four cards are queens. I am going to call then A,B,C,D. A and B is the same outcome as B and A. That is, the order is not important, so this is why we use the combinations formula.

The number of desired outcomes is a combinations of 2 cards from a set of 4(queens). So

D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6

Total outcomes

Combinations of 2 from a set of 52(number of playing cards). So

T = C_{52,2} = \frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!} = 1326

What is the probability that they are both queens?

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{1326} = 0.0045

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Mr. and mrs. lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500. if they have 18% of this amount saved for a down payment, how much h
Vesnalui [34]

Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment. This can be obtained by using percentage formula.

<h3>How much have they saved?</h3>

The percentage of a number can be obtained using percentage formula,

If P% of X is Y then it can be denoted using the formula of percentage as,

⇒ P% of X = Y

⇒ P% × X = Y   (where P% is P/100)

Here in the question it is given that,

  • Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500
  • They have 18% of this amount saved for a down payment

We have to find the amount they saved for the down payment.

  • Given that the total amount = $213,500
  • Percentage they are saving = 18%

The amount they saved for the down payment,

18% of the total amount = 18% of $213,500

Using the percentage formula we get,

18% of $213,500 = 18% × $213,500  

18% of $213,500 = 18/100 × $213,500

18% of $213,500 = $ 38,430.00

Hence Option d is the correct answer. $38,430.00 is the amount saved for a down payment given that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo want to buy a home valued at $213,500 and they have 18% of this amount saved for the down payment.

Irene knows there are 2 cups in 1 pint. She writes the equation c=2p to find the number of cups, c, in any number of pints, p. U
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no options to select from.

However, a general explanation is as follows.

Given

2\ cups = 1\ pint

Required

Is c = 2p a correct expression?

Let

c = cups

p = pint

So:

2\ cups = 1\ pint

becomes

2 * c = 1 * p

2c = p

Divide both sides by 2

c =\frac{1}{2}p

Hence:

c = 2p is incorrect
