g What is the probability of being dealt exactly three of a kind (like three kings or three 7’s, etc.) in a five card hand from

Elena L [17]

Answer: 0.02257

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total cards in a deck = 52

Number of ways to select any 5 cards : $^{52}C_5$

Since , there are total 13 kinds of card (includes Numbers from 2 to 9 and Ace , king, queen and jack).

Of each kind , there are 4 cards.

Number of ways to select three cards in a five card hand of a single kind : $^{4}C_3\times^{48}C_2$

Number of ways to select three cards in a five card hand of a exactly three of a kind : $13\times^{4}C_3\times^{48}C_2$

Now , the required probability = $\dfrac{13\times^{4}C_3\times^{48}C_2}{^{52}C_5}$

$=\dfrac{13\times4\times\dfrac{48!}{2!46!}}{\dfrac{52!}{5!47!}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{58656}{2598960}$

$=0.022569027611\approx0.02257$

∴ The probability of being dealt exactly three of a kind (like three kings or three 7’s, etc.) in a five card hand from a deck of 52 cards= 0.02257

suppose that you have 3000$ to invest. which investment yields the greater return over a 10 year period: 8.04% compounded daily

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: Option A: 8.04% compounded daily

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

$A = P\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}\qquad where\\\\\bullet A = \text{accrued amount (principal plus interest earned)}\\\bullet P = \text{principal (amount invested)}\\\bullet r = \text{rate (in decimal form)}\\\bullet n=\text{number of times compounded in one year}\\\bullet t=\text{time (number of years)}\\\\\\Option\ A:\\A = \text{unknown}\\P=3000\\r=8.04\%\rightarrow 0.0804\\n=\text{daily}\rightarrow 365\\t=10\\\\A=3000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.0804}{365}\bigg)^{365\times 10}\\\\.\ =\$ 6,702.79$

$Option\ B:\\A = \text{unknown}\\P=3000\\r=8.1\%\rightarrow 0.081\\n=\text{quarterly}\rightarrow 4\\t=10\\\\A=3000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.081}{4}\bigg)^{4\times 10}\\\\.\ =\$ 6,689.37$

Option A results in the greater amount of money.
