Answer:

The probability of selecting a black card or a 6 = 7/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given two events. When two events can not occur at the same time,it is known as mutually exclusive event.

According to the question we need to find out the probability of black card or 6. So we can write it as:

P(black card or 6):

The probability of selecting a black card = 26/52

The probability of selecting a 6 = 4/52

And the probability of selecting both = 2/52.

So we will apply the formula of compound probability:

P(black card or 6)=P(black card)+P(6)-P(black card and 6)

Now substitute the values:

P(black card or 6)= 26/52+4/52-2/52

P(black card or 6)=26+4-2/52

P(black card or 6)=30-2/52

P(black card or 6)=28/52

P(black card or 6)=7/13.

Hence the probability of selecting a black card or a 6 = 7/13 ....

Kit bought a soft drink and a sandwich for $9.00. What was the price of each if the sandwich cost 3.5 times much as the soft dri
astra-53 [7]

Let the cost of the soft drink = C   then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C

 

And

 

C + 3.5C  = Total Cost

 

C + 3.5C  =   9

 

4.5C = 9    divide both sides by 4.5

 

C = 9/4.5  =  $2.00   for the soft drink

 

And  3.5C = 3.5(2.00)  = $7.00   cost of the sandwich
