Answer:

x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller one, this means that there is a difference of 4 between the two numbers. In order to find the smaller of both numbers, you can obtain the smaller from the largest by subtracting 4.

For each question (a–e) below, choose one of the answers (i–viii); explain your choice.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a deck of cards is shuffled.

we know in a deck there are 52 cards, 13 cards of each variety spade, clubs hearts and dice.  Red are 26 and black are 26.  kings, will be 4.

(a) the top card is the king of spades and the bottom card is the queen of spades?

(iii) 1/52 × 1/52

Top has 1/52 and bottom has 1/52 and these are independent.

(b) the top card is the king of spades and the bottom card is the king of spades?

(viii) None of the above

Because it is impossible.

(c) the top card is the king of spades or the bottom card is the king of spades?

(iv) 1/52 + 1/52

This is the sum of probabilities because there is no common event for these two.

(d) the top card is the king of spades or the bottom card is the queen of spades?

(ii) 1/52 + 1/51 (once king of spades is there, then probability is 1/51 for bottom card)

(e) of the top and bottom cards, one is the king of spades and the other is the queen of spades?

(vii) 2/52 × 1/51

Because this is twice of probability d.

What number will the function return if the input is 15.4?
wlad13 [49]

The rule of the function is to multiply the input by 3, since one yard is equal in length to three feet.

So, if the input is 15.4, the output will be

f(x)=3x \implies f(15.4)=3\cdot 15.4 = 46.2
