Part (a) is relatively straight forward.

There are 4 aces in a standard 52-card deck. So the probability that AN ace is picked is just 4/52.

Part (b):
Note that there are 4 suits in a standard 52-card deck. So picking hearts will be 13/52 or 1/4.

Part (c):
The probability condition OR means we need to add the two probabilities because we do not want them simultaneously. So, we end up getting Pr(ace) + Pr(heart).

From part (a), we found that picking an ace had a probability of 4/52, which is reduced down to 1/13.

From part (b), we found that picking a heart had a probability of 1/4.

So, the probability of an ace OR a heart is 1/13 + 1/4 = 4/52 + 13/52 = 17/52.

Dori and Malory are tracking their steps taken as a health goal. Dori leaves her house at 12:00 p.m. and walks at 50 steps per m
docker41 [41]

Hi There!


Dori leaves her house at 12pm.

50 steps per minute until 12:20pm.

Dori has a 20 minute advantage over Malory, find the amount of steps she is ahead by,

12 - 12:20pm. steps = 20 minutes = 20 x 50 = 1000 steps


Malory leaves her house at 12:20pm.

Walks 90 steps per minute.

12:20 -  12:30 pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900


Dori 12:20 - 12:30pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 50 = 500

500 + 1000 = 1500


Mallory 12:30 - 12:40 = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

900 + 900 = 1800


Dori 12:30 - 12:45pm. = 15 minutes = 15 x 50 = 500

1750 + 500 = 2250


Mallory 12:40 - 12:45pm. = 5 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

450 + 1800 = 2250


Answer: they have the same number steps at 12:45 p.m.


Hope This Helps :)
