Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck, 12 of these cards are face cards (4 kings, 4 queens and 4 jacks) and 40 are not face cards

a. Find the probability that the first card is a face card and the second is NOT a face card.

There are 12 first card, the probability that the first card is a face card is 12/52.

Since there are no replacement, after picking 1 face card the number of cards remaining is 51, the probability of the second card not being a face card = 40/51. Therefore:

The probability that the first card is a face card and the second is NOT a face card = P(first is face card) × P(second is not face card) = 12/52 × 40/51 = 40/221

b) Find the probability that they are both face cards.

The probability that the first card is a face card is 12/52.

Since there are no replacement, after picking 1 face card the number of cards remaining is 51 and the number of face card remaining is 11, the probability of the second card is a face card = 11/51. Therefore:

The probability that they are both face cards = P(first is face card) × P(second is face card) = 12/52 × 11/51 = 11/221

c) Find the probability that the second is a face card given the first is NOT a face card.

The probability that the first card is not a face card = 40/52

Since there are no replacement, after picking the first card the number of cards remaining is, the probability of the second card is a face card = 12/51. Therefore:

The probability that the second is a face card given the first is NOT a face card = P(first is not a face card) × P(second is face card) = 40/52 × 12/51 = 40/221

MrRissso [65]

The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van) = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years) = 41 years

or, 2 S + 17 = 41

or, 2 S = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned = S + 17 = 12 + 17 = 29 years

Please i need help.....

Answer:

A.105°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle at W and V are equal and the angles at T and U are also equal

Hence taking angles at T and U...so as to calculate the value of x

5x + 15 = 3x + 21

5x - 3x = 21 - 15

2x = 6.....hence, x = 3

Then for the angle of VXU;

All angles in a triangle add up to 180°

15(3) + 3(3) + 21 = 75°...then subtract from 180°..so as to obtain angle at VXU

180 - 75 = 105°

Match each inequality to the graph of the solution.

Alexandra [31]

So the circle when it is filled in means that the number is included so in the phase the < or > sign will have a line under it, for instance 1. X> 2 the answer would be D because everything that the number line is showing you is less than 2 and the circle is not filled in so 2 is not included in the answer
