Answer:

The probability is 0.000495

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

Total no. of cards in a deck = 52

No. of spades in a deck = 13

Now, we have to select 5 cards in a deck such that they belong to the same suit, i.e., spades.

The no. of ways of selecting 5 cards from a deck = ^{52}C_{5} = \frac{52!}{5!(52 - 5)!} = \frac{52!}{5!47!}

The no. of ways of selecting 5 cards from 13 spade cards = ^{13}C_{5} = \frac{13!}{5!(13 - 5)!} = \frac{13!}{5!8!}

Now,

Probability that the selected 5 cards are all spades, P(E)  = \frac{No.\ of\ ways\ of\ selecting\ 5\ cards\ from\ 13\ spade\ cards}{No.\ of\ ways\ of\ selecting\ 5\ cards\ from\ a\ deck}

P(E)  = \frac{^{13}C_{5}}{^{52}C_{5}}

P(E)  = \frac{\frac{13!}{5!8!}}{\frac{52!}{5!52!}}

P(E)  = \frac{\frac{13\times 12\times 11\tiems 10\times 9}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}}{\frac{52\times 51\times 50\times 49\times 48}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}}

P(E)  = \frac{13\times 12\times 11\tiems 10\times 9}{52\times 51\times 50\times 49\times 48} = 4.95\times 10^{- 4} = 0.000495

Carlos wants to practice piano 2 hours each day. He practices piano for 3/4 hour before school and 7/10 hour when he gets home.
kiruha [24]

Answer

Find out the how many hours has Carlos practiced piano .

To prove

As given

He\ practices\ piano\ for\ \frac{3}{4}\ hour\ before\ school.

\frac{7}{10}\ hour\ when\ he\ gets\ home.

Than

Total\ hours\ carlos\ practiced\ piano = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{7}{10}

L.C.M of (4,10) = 20

Total\ hours\ carlos\ practiced\ piano = \frac{3\times 5+7\times 2}{20}

Total\ hours\ carlos\ practiced\ piano = \frac{15+14}{20}

Total\ hours\ carlos\ practiced\ piano = \frac{29}{20}\ hours

Therefore the total hours Carlos practiced piano is 1.45 hours .

T(x)=1-2x how do you graph this problem
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1 is the y-intercept

The -2 is the slope

First place a point at (0,1)

Then, because it's negative from left to right the graph is decreasing (going lower on the y-axis the farther you go on the x-axis).

Slope is rise over run so the -2 affects how far it goes. So for each value of x that increases by one, a new point will be two units down and one unit right of the previous point. To graph to the left of the y-intercept then you do that backwards where the next point is two units up and one unit left.


Then just draw a straight line connecting all the points.
