Answer:

option B (28/52)

Step-by-step explanation:

from probability

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

where

P(A∪B) = probability that event A or B happen

P(A∩B) = probability that event A and B happen simultaneously

P(A) =  probability that event A happen

P(B) =  probability that event B happen

the probability that the card is special or red

P( special or red)= P(special) + P(red) - P( special and red)

since

P(special)= 4/52

P(red) = 26/52

P( special and red) = 2/52

therefore

P( special or red)= 4/52 + 26/52 -  2/52 = 28/52

P( special or red)= 28/52

(option B)

Please help me solve this question:)​
omeli [17]

Answer:

The answer would be a=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both sides of the equation are being multiplied by b then you would divide both of them by B. This will just remove the B from the equation entirely and leave you with a=2. I hope that this was helpful.

AB is a midsegment of trapezoid DEFG what is x?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFG is a trapezoid and AB is its Midsegment.

Therefore,

AB =\frac{1}{2}(DG + EF)  \\  \\ 12 =  \frac{1}{2} (5x - 4 + 8x + 2) \\  \\ 12  \times 2= (13x - 2) \\  \\ 24 = 13x - 2 \\  \\ 24 + 2 = 13x \\  \\ 26 = 13x \\  \\ x =  \frac{26}{13}  \\  \\ x = 2
