Answer: Ask the king to draw first and read it. Explain that if the king selects "leave" the PM's choice could only be "stay". It is then unnecessary for the PM to draw. It avoids embarrassing the king in his lie, demonstrates the PM's intelligence, and keeps his job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is not replaced before the second card is select
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Probability is:   $ \frac{\textbf{13}}{\textbf{51}} $

Step-by-step explanation:

From a deck of 52 cards there are 26 black cards. (Spades and Clubs).

Also, there are 26 red cards. (Hearts and Diamonds).

First, we determine the probability of drawing a black card.

P(drawing a black card) = $ \frac{number \hspace{1mm} of  \hspace{1mm} black  \hspace{1mm} cards}{total  \hspace{1mm} number  \hspace{1mm} of  \hspace{1mm} cards} $  $ = \frac{26}{52} = \frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{2}} $

Now, since we don't replace the drawn card, there are only 51 cards.

But the number of red cards is still 26,

∴ P(drawing a red card) = $ \frac{number  \hspace{1mm} of  \hspace{1mm} red  \hspace{1mm} cards}{total  \hspace{1mm} number  \hspace{1mm}of  \hspace{1mm} cards} $  $ = \frac{26}{51}  $

Now, the probability of both black and red card = $ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{26}{51} $

$ = \frac{\textbf{13}}{\textbf{51}} $

Hence, the answer.

Rzqust [24]
There is an 80% chance to find a red or purple. The total number of markers is 40 and the combined number of red and purple is 32. Dividing 32 by 40 gives you 4/5, 0.8, or 80%
