Answer:

0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

In Probability "OR" means "ADDITION" and "AND" means "MULTIPLICATION"

Here, we want probability of Jack "OR" Red, so we find individual probabilities and then "ADD" them.

There are 26 cards that are RED, half of the deck. So probability of RED CARD is:

P(red) = 26/52 = 1/2

Now, there are 4 Jacks in the whole deck, 2 red Jack and 2 black Jack. We already accounted for the 2 red jacks, so we have 2 black Jacks at hand. So

P(Jack) = 2/52 = 1/26

Now, we add the 2 probabilities:

P(jack or red) = 1/2 + 1/26 = 13/26 + 1/26 = 14/26 = 0.54 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and divide by the first term

-4/1 = -4

Take the third term and divide by the second term

16/-4 = -4

Take the fourth term and divide by the third

-64/16 = -4

This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -4

Elaine is 8 years younger than her brother Tyler. The sum of their ages is 34. What are Elaine's and Tyler's age?
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>Here, Elaine = Tyler + (-8)

</span>⇒ E<span>laine + 0 + Tyler + 0 = 34
</span>⇒ T<span>yler + (-8) + 0 + Tyler + 0 = 34

And, Tyler = [(34 - (0) - (-8)] / 2

Thus, Tyler = 21
And, Elaine = 21 + (-8)
                   =13

</span>∴ T<span>yler = 21 & Elaine = 13
