probability that the card drawn is:

  1. an ace or a king  = 0.1538
  2. a king or a diamond = 0.3269

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , A card is drawn at random from a deck of 52 playing cards. We need to find that Find the probability that the card drawn is:

  • an ace or a king

A deck of standard 52 cards contain four aces. There are four kings in a standard deck of playing cards. So ,we need to find probability that card drawn is either a ace or king i.e.

probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{8}{52}

⇒ probability = 0.1538

  • a king or a diamond

A deck of standard 52 cards contain four kings. There are 13 Diamonds in a standard deck of playing cards. So ,we need to find probability that card drawn is either a ace or king i.e.

probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{Number-of-(ace+king)-cards}{total-number-of-cards}

⇒ probability = \frac{(13+4=17)}{52}

⇒ probability = \frac{(17)}{52}

⇒ probability =0.3269

Therefore, probability that the card drawn is:

  1. an ace or a king  = 0.1538
  2. a king or a diamond = 0.3269

a) The probability of drawing an ace or king =  \frac{2}{13}

b) The probability of drawing a diamond or king =  \frac{4}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Total number of cards in the deck = 52

We need to compute probability that card drawn is

a) ace or king

b) King or diamond

Step 2 :

a)

Number of ace in the pack = 4

Number of kings in the pack = 4

Hence the probability of selecting an ace or king =  \frac{8}{52} [total favorable divided by the total outcome] = \frac{2}{13}

Step 3:

b)

Number of king in the card deck = 4

Number of diamond in the card deck = 13

Number of diamond cards which is a king = 1

Total number of cards that can be drawn ( king or diamond) = 4 + 13 - 1 = 16

Hence probability that a diamond or king is drawn =  \frac{16}{52}  [total favorable divided by the total outcome]  =  \frac{4}{13}

Step 4 :

Answer :

a) The probability that card drawn is an ace or king =  \frac{2}{13}

b) The probability that card drawn is a diamond or king =  \frac{4}{13}

Write a mix number that is greater than 3 but less than 4
Finger [1]
Lets find that number:
3 < x < 4
that can easily be thought as 3.5
<span>3 < 3.5 < 4
</span>now lets change the decimal to a mix number:
3.5 = 3 + 0.5
= 3 + 5/10
= 3 + 1/2
= 3 1/2

Which is the correct formula to find the distance between two points (p,q) and (m,n)?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is d = √[(p - m)² + (q - n)²] ⇒ first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* The distance between any to points (x1 , y1) , (x2 , y2) is

- d = √[square the difference of x- coordinates plus

        square the difference of y-coordinates]

∴ d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²] or

∴ d² = (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

* x2 - x1 is the horizontal distance (h) and y2 - y1

 is the vertical distance (v)

- By using Pythagoras theorem

∴ d = √[h² + v²]

∵ The two points are (p , q) and (m , n)

- Put x1 = m and y1 = n

- Put x2 = p and y2 = q

∴ d² = (p - m)² + (q - n)²

∴ d = √[(p - m)² + (q - n)²]

∴ The answer is d = √[(p - m)² + (q - n)²] ⇒ first answer

7(h-4)=2h+17 help plzz
S_A_V [24]
7(h-4) = 2h + 17         distribute to get:
7h - 28 = 2h + 17       subtract 2h from both sides to get:
5h - 28 = 17               add 28 to both sides to get:
5h = 45                      divide 5 from both sides to get:
h = 9
