A 52-card deck is thoroughly shuffled and you are dealt a hand of 13 cards. (a) If you have at least one ace, what is the probab

ility that you have at least two aces? (b) If you have the ace of spades, what is the probability that you have at least two aces? Remarkably, the answer is different from part (a).

Answer:

a) 0.371

b) 0.561

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer both questions using conditional probability.

(a) We need to calculate the probability of obtaining two aces given that you obtained at least one. Let's call <em>A</em> the random variable that determines how many Aces you have. A is a discrete variable that can take any integer value from 0 to 4. We need to calculate

P(A \geq 2 | A \geq 1) = P(A\geq 2 \cap A \geq 1) / P(A \geq 1)

Since having 2 or more aces implies having at least one, the event A \geq 2 \cap A \geq 1 is equal to the event A \geq 2. Therefore, we can rewrite the previous expression as follows

P(A \geq 2) / P(A \geq 1)

We can calculate each of the probabilities by substracting from one the probability of its complementary event, which  are easier to compute

P(A \geq 2) = 1 - P((A \geq 2)^c) = 1 - P((A = 0) \bigsqcup (A = 1)) = 1 - P(A = 0) - P (A = 1)

P (A \geq 1) = 1 - P ((A \geq 1)^c) = 1 - P(A = 0)

We have now to calculate P(A = 0) and P(A = 1).

For the event A = 0, we have to pick 13 cards and obtain no ace at all. Since there are 4 aces on the deck, we need to pick 13 cards from a specific group of 48. The total of favourable cases is equivalent to the ammount of subsets of 13 elements of a set of 48, in other words it is 48 \choose 13. The total of cases is 52 \choose 13. We obtain

P(A = 0) = {48 \choose 13}/{52 \choose 13} = \frac{48! * 39!}{52!*35!} \simeq 0.303  

For the event A = 1, we pick an Ace first, then we pick 12 cards that are no aces. Since we can pick from 4 aces, that would multiply the favourable cases by 4, so we conclude

P(A=1) = 4*{48 \choose 12}/{52 \choose 13} = \frac{4*13*48! * 39!}{52!*36!} \simeq 0.438      

Hence,  

1 - P(A = 1)-P(A=0) /1-P(A=1) = 1 - 0.438 - 0.303/1-0.303 = 0.371

We conclude that the probability of having two aces provided we have one is 0.371

b) For this problem, since we are guaranteed to obtain the ace of spades, we can concentrate on the other 12 cards instead. Those 12 cards have to contain at least one ace (other that the ace of spades).

We can interpret this problem as if we would have removed the ace of spades from the deck and we are dealt 12 cards instead of 13. We need at least one of the 3 remaining aces. We will use the random variable B defined by the amount of aces we have other that the ace of spades. We have to calculate the probability of B being greater or equal than 1. In order to calculate that we can compute the probability of the <em>complementary set</em> and substract that number from 1.

P(B \geq 1) = 1-P(B=0)

In order to calculate P(B=0), we consider the number of favourable cases in which we dont have aces. That number is equal to the amount of subsets of 12 elements from a set with 48 (the deck without aces). Then, the amount of favourable cases is 48 \choose 12. Without the ace of spades, we have 51 cards on the deck, therefore

P(B = 0) = {48 \choose 12} / {51 \choose 12} = \frac{48!*39!}{51!*36!} = 0.438

We can conclude

P(B \geq 1) = 1- 0.438 = 0.561

The probability to obtain at least 2 aces if we have the ace of spades is 0.561

Find an integer value of b that makes x^2 + bx - 81 factorable​
m_a_m_a [10]

x² + bx - 81

there are 2 formula that fit this equation :

>> x² - a² = (x+a)(x-a)

or

>> x² + 2ax² + a² = (x+a)(x+a)

because the last value of our equation is negative value therefore we have to use the first formula >> x² - a² = (x+a)(x-a)

step:

x² + bx - 81  

x² + bx - 9²

because we have to follow the first formula x² - a² therefore bx = 0

x² + bx - 9²

bx = 0

b = 0

<em>An adult ticket costs $205 and a child ticket costs $49.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Recall you have to write complete questions in order to find exact answers. Here I'll assume the complete question as:

<em>Two families are planning a trip to Disney. The Smith family bought tickets for 2 adults and 3 children for $557. The Jones family bought tickets for 2 adults and 1 child </em><em>for $459</em><em>. How much does and adult and child ticket cost?</em>

To solve this problem, we need to write a system of linear equations in two variables. So, we know some facts:

  • Two families are planning a trip to Disney.
  • The Smith family bought tickets for 2 adults and 3 children for $557.
  • The Jones family bought tickets for 2 adults and 1 child for $459.

Let:

x:Cost \ of \ ticket \ per \ adult \\ \\ y: Cost \ of \ ticket \ per \ child

For the Smith family:

Cost for the 2 adults:

2x

Cost for the 3 children:

3y

Total cost:

2x+3y=557

For the Jones family:

Cost for the 2 adults:

2x

Cost for the 1 child:

y

Total cost:

2x+y=459

So we have the following system of linear equations:

\begin{array}{c}(1)\\(2)\end{array}\left\{ \begin{array}{c}2x+3y=557\\2x+y=459\end{array}\right.

Subtracting (2) from (1):

\begin{array}{c}(1)\\(2)\end{array}\left\{ \begin{array}{c}2x+3y=557\\-(2x+y=459)\end{array}\right. \\ \\ \\ \begin{array}{c}(1)\\(2)\end{array}\left\{ \begin{array}{c}2x+3y=557\\-2x-y=-459\end{array}\right. \\ \\ \\ (2x-2x)+(3y-y)=557-459 \\ \\ 2y=98 \\ \\ y=49 \\ \\ \\ Finding \ x \ from \ (1): \\ \\ 2x+3(49)=557 \\ \\ 2x=557-147 \\ \\ 2x=410 \\ \\ x=205

Finally, <em>an adult ticket costs $205 and a child ticket costs $49.</em>

Whats the gcf of 48 and 78
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 48 and 78 is: 6

Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
Factors of 78: 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39

The common factors between the two numbers are 1, 2, 3, and 6, but considering 6 is the highest number out of them, it is the greatest common factor.

You can text 44 words in 1 minute. Write a proportion to help you find
Natalka [10]

Answer:

176 words

Step-by-step explanation:

1) well we want to find the amount of words we'd be able to type in 4 minutes. so, what i did was:

<u>44 words</u> = <u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

1 minutes = 4 minutes

2) now look at how i set up the proportion, notice how i left a variable of x for the value i didn't know.

3) we also know that 1 times 4 is 4, so it'd also make sense to also multiply the numerator by 4 too!!

4) multiplying 44 by 4 would get us our answer which is 176

im not the best at math but i this explanation helped <33
