Answer:
The correct answer is 0.05882.
Step-by-step explanation:
A deck of cards have 52 cards, 13 cards of each suit.
We are drawing two cards without replacement.
We need to find the probability of getting a diamond as the first card.
Favorable outcomes are 13 and total number of outcomes are 52.
Thus this probability is
.
Now for the next draw we again want to pick a diamond card.
Favorable outcomes are 12 and total number of leftover cards are 51.
Thus this probability is
.
Now the probability that both cards are diamonds is
×
=
= 0.0588235 ≈ 0.05882
Answer:
140 individuals were surveyed
42 people are planning on going to the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is missing the information regarding the percentage of people who said that they were going to each of the possible destinations. After a quick google search I've found that, in the original question, 32% of individuals were going to the beach, 15% to the desert, 23% to major cities, and 30% to the mountains.
If 21 people said they were going to the desert, and that corresponds to 15% of the total number of people surveyed, the number of people surveyed is:

140 individuals were surveyed
Since 30% responded "the mountains", the number of people planning on going to the mountains is:

42 people are planning on going to the mountains
Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12
