In a hand of 5 cards, you want 4 of them to be of the same rank, and the fifth can be any of the remaining 48 cards. So if the rank of the 4-of-a-kind is fixed, there are
possible hands. To account for any choice of rank, we choose 1 of the 13 possible ranks and multiply this count by
. So there are 624 possible hands containing a 4-of-a-kind. Hence A occurs with probability

There are 4 aces in the deck. If exactly 1 occurs in the hand, the remaining 4 cards can be any of the remaining 48 non-ace cards, contributing
possible hands. Exactly 2 aces are drawn in
hands. And so on. This gives a total of

possible hands containing at least 1 ace, and hence B occurs with probability

The product of these probability is approximately 0.000082.
A and B are independent if the probability of both events occurring simultaneously is the same as the above probability, i.e.
. This happens if
- the hand has 4 aces and 1 non-ace, or
- the hand has a non-ace 4-of-a-kind and 1 ace
The above "sub-events" are mutually exclusive and share no overlap. There are 48 possible non-aces to choose from, so the first sub-event consists of 48 possible hands. There are 12 non-ace 4-of-a-kinds and 4 choices of ace for the fifth card, so the second sub-event has a total of 12*4 = 48 possible hands. So
consists of 96 possible hands, which occurs with probability

and so the events A and B are NOT independent.
Answer:
I may be wrong, but I learned that the first slot would be "terms". 4:3 would be an example of a ratio so it couldn't be ratio and a difference is subtracting.
The second slot would not be a geometric sequence because it is not correctly placed on the number line.
Therefore, the answers would be "terms" and "is not"
Answer:
A.) The sum of the product of the number of terms and the number of terms plus one.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the sum of the first 22 positive even numbers:
S = 2 + 4+ 6 + ... + 44
We know the sum of such sequence is given by the (sum of the first number (2) and the last number (44)) multiplied by the number of terms (11).
S = (2 + 44) * 11 = 46 * 11 = 506
Answer A tells us it should be the sum of the number of terms (22) by the number of terms plus one (22 + 1 = 23).
S = 22 * 23 = 506
That's confirmed.
Answer B would give 22 * 21 = 462, so it's not right
Answer C would give 22 * 2 = 44, obviously not right
Answer D would give 22 * 22 = 484, close but not right.
