1) We have that there are (52,3) ways to pick 3 cards out of 52 cards. Also, there are (4,3) ways to pick 3 kings out of the 4 total available kings in the deck. In essence, we need to have one of those ways to be the selected 3 cards. Hence, the probability is the ration (4,3)/(52,3). Computing this:
P=

The probability is very low but not negligible.
2) The Pascal triangle defines a recursive relationship. Hence, we would need to calculate all the binomial coefficients up to 51. Thus, it is not at all practical to use the Pascal Triangle to calculate the ways. It is easier to do the direct computation.
<span>There are several possible events that lead to the eighth mouse tested being the second mouse poisoned. There must be only a single mouse poisoned before the eighth is tested, but this first poisoning could occur with the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh mouse. Thus there are seven events that describe the scenario we are concerned with. With each event, we want two particular mice to become diseased (1/6 chance) and the remaining six mice to remain undiseased (5/6 chance). Thus, for each of the seven events, the probability of this event occurring among all events is (1/6)^2(5/6)^6. Since there are seven of these events which are mutually exclusive, we sum the probabilities: our desired probability is 7(1/6)^2(5/6)^6 = (7*5^6)/(6^8).</span>
Answer: x= 385/12
Step-by-step explanation:
You would first change the denominator to some number that is common. Then combine the like terms. Lastly, subtract the fraction from the equal and you get your x.
