Joe dealt 20 cards from a standard 52-card deck, and the number of red cards exceeded the number of black cards by 8. he reshuff

led the cards and dealt 30 cards. this time, the number of red cards exceeded the number of black cards by 10. determine which deal is closer to the 50/50 ratio of red/black expected of fairly dealt hands from a fair deck and why.
a. the first series is closer because 1/10 is farther from 1/2 than is 1/8.
b. the series closer to the theoretical 50/50 cannot be determined unless the number of red and black cards for each deal is given.
c. the second series is closer because 20/30 is closer to 1/2 than is 14/20.
d. the first series is closer because the difference between red and black is smaller than the difference in the second series.

Answer:

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first shuffle, Joe gets 6 black cards and 14 red cards (6:14⇒3:7)

In the second shuffle, Joe gets 10 black cards and 20 red cards (10:20⇒1:2)

The first series is closer to the 50:50 radio because 3:7 is closer to 50:50 given that the difference between read and black is smaller than the difference in the second series.

First deal there are 14 red and 6 black   so fraction of red = 14/20  or 0.7
second deal there are 20 red and 10 black so fraction of red = 20/30 or 0.67

0.67 is closer to 1/2 that 0.7 so

c is the correct choice

Solve the system of equations for 7x+2y=16 and -21x-6y=24
Georgia [21]
Simplifying
7x + 2y = 16

Solving
7x + 2y = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
7x + 2y + -2y = 16 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
7x + 0 = 16 + -2y
7x = 16 + -2y

Divide each side by '7'.
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y

Simplifying
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y

Find the missing side length of the right triangle. show work.
motikmotik

Answer:

6.32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length on a right angled triangle we follow The Pythagorean Theorem:

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

c being the hypothesis (longest side: the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle)

so..

{6}^{2}  +   {2}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  \\ 36 + 4 =  {x}^{2}  \\ 40 =  {x}^{2} \\  \sqrt{40}   =  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } \\

6.32 = x
