e 6. He discards the 3 and the 6 and is dealt two more cards. What is the probability that he ends up with a full house (3 cards of one kind, 2 cards of another kind)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.0083

Step-by-step explanation:

The gambler will have full house if he is dealt two kings or ace and a king.Now, there are 47 cards left in the deck and two which are aces and three are king.

The probability of these event are \frac{3C_2}{47C_2}

and  \frac{3C_1\times 2C_1}{47C_2}  respectively. So, the probability of a full house is given as:

\frac{3C_2}{47C_2}+\frac{3C_1\times 2C_1}{47C_2}

=0.0083

Answer:

The probability that he ends up with a full house is 0.0083.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a gambler has been dealt five cards—two aces, one king, one 3, and one 6. He discards the 3 and the 6 and is dealt two more cards.

We have to find the probability that he ends up with a full house (3 cards of one kind, 2 cards of another kind).

We know that gambler will end up with a full house in two different ways (knowing that he has given two more cards);

  • If he is given with two kings.
  • If he is given one king and one ace.

Only in these two situations, he will end up with a full house.

Now, there are three kings and two aces left which means at the time of drawing cards from the deck, the available cards will be 47.

So, the ways in which we can draw two kings from available three kings is given by =  \frac{^{3}C_2 }{^{47}C_2}   {∵ one king is already there}

              =  \frac{3!}{2! \times 1!}\times \frac{2! \times 45!}{47!}           {∵ ^{n}C_r = \frac{n!}{r! \times (n-r)!} }

              =  \frac{3}{1081}  =  0.0028

Similarly, the ways in which one king and one ace can be drawn from available 3 kings and 2 aces is given by =  \frac{^{3}C_1 \times ^{2}C_1 }{^{47}C_2}

                                                                   =  \frac{3!}{1! \times 2!}\times \frac{2!}{1! \times 1!} \times \frac{2! \times 45!}{47!}

                                                                   =  \frac{6}{1081}  =  0.0055

Now, probability that he ends up with a full house = \frac{3}{1081} + \frac{6}{1081}

                                                                                    =  \frac{9}{1081} = <u>0.0083</u>.

The area of one field is 16 acres, and the area of the second field is 1 1/4 times bigger. A barn of wheat on the first field ma
gregori [183]

Answer: 23.89 thousands of pounds  is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

the area of one field = 16 acres

Area of second field is given by

1\frac{1}{4}\times 16\\\\=\frac{5}{4}\times 16\\\\=5\times 4\\\\=20\ acres

A barn of wheat on the first field makes up

3\frac{7}{12}\times 16\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times 16\\\\=57.33\text{ thousands of pounds.}

A barn of wheat on the second field makes up

1\frac{2}{15}\times 20\\\\=\frac{43}{12}\times \frac{17}{15}\times 20\\\\=81.22\text{ thousands of pounds }

Now,

81.22-57.33=23.89

Hence, 23.89 thousands of pounds  is more wheat that was gathered from the second field than from the first field.

9. Determine whether or not the number 257 is prime.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by <u>2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13</u> (the prime numbers that come before 16)

  • 257 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.
  • The sum of its digits is 14, therefore, it is not divisible by 3.
  • 257 ends in 7, therefore it's not divisible by 5.
  • 257/ 7 = 36.71 so it's not divisible by 7.
  • 257/ 11 = 23.36 so it's not divisible by 11
  • Finally 257 / 13= 19.76 so it's not divisible by 13.

Therefore, 257 is prime.
