It will take 4 segments.

Answer:

6 segments are required to connect each point to every other point.

Step-by-step explanation:

If four points are placed on a circle.Then as we know the segment is a line that join two points.

Now as we are given four points on the circle.

so we will firstly start with the first point; the first point requires 3 segments to connect to the remaining three points.
Next second point will just require 2 segments to connect to the two points as it is already connected to the first point.
similarly third point requires just one segment to connect to the last point as it is already connected to first and second point as done above.
and hence by the above three steps the fourth point is connected to all the points.

Hence, 6 segments are required to connect each point to every other point.

Kipish [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

${ - z}^{6} \\ z = - 3$

$- {( - 3)}^{6} \\ = - 1 \times ( - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3 \times - 3)$

= -1 × 729

A card is being drawn from a standard deck of playing cards. Find each probability.

EastWind [94]

These are 6 questions and 6 answers.

To find each probability we will use the definition of probability:

Probability = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

1) P(Jack or ten)


Answer: 2/13 ≈ 0.12


Justification:

i) Positive outcomes: A standard deck of cards has 4 jacks and 4 tens, then those are 4 + 4 = 8 different positive outcomes.

ii) Possible outcomes: a standard deck of cards has 52 different cards, so, that is a total of 52 different possible outcomes

iii) Probability, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 8 / 52 = 2/13 ≈ 0.15

 2.P(red or black)


Answer: 1

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red and half of the cards are black, so they both add for the total of the cards = 52

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 cards

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 52 / 52 = 1

 3.P(queen or club)


Answer: 4/13 ≈ 0.31

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

There are 4 Queens.

There are 1/4 of 52 clubs = 1/4 × 52 = 13 clubs.

But you cannot add all of them, because one club is the Quenn of Clubs.

Then, the total number of different Queens and clubs is 4 + 13 - 1 = 16

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 16 /52 = 4 / 13 ≈ 0.31

 4.P(red or ace)


Answer: 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red: 26

There are 4 aces.

Since 2 aces are red, the number of different red and aces cards is: 26 + 4 - 2 = 28

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different outcomes

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 28 / 52 = 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54

 5.P(diamond or black)


Answer: 1/2 = 0.5

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

There are 52 / 4 = 13 diamonds

There are 26 black cards.

All the diamonds are black cards.

Then, the number of different diamond or black cards is 13 + 26 - 13 = 26

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards.

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 26 / 52 = 1/2 = 0.5

6.P(face card or spade)

Answer: 11/26 ≈ 0.42

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Face cards are jacks, queens and kings. That is 3 × 4 = 12 different cards.

The spades are 13 cards.

Since, 3 of the faces are spade cards, the number of different cards of those types are 12 + 13 - 3 = 22

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 22 / 52 = 11 / 26 ≈ 0.42
