Answer:

0.00597

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of cards = 52,

In which flush cards = 20,

Also, the number of spade flush cards = 5,

Since,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Thus, the probability of a hand containing a spade flush, if each player has 5 cards

=\frac{\text{Ways of selecting a spade flush card}}{\text{Total ways of selecting five cards}}

=\frac{^{20}C_5}{^{52}C_5}

=\frac{\frac{20!}{5!15!}}{\frac{52!}{5!47!}}

=\frac{15504}{2598960}

= 0.00597

An oval track is made by erecting semicircles on each end of a 60m by 120m rectangle. Find the length of the track and the area
vodomira [7]
Refer to the figure shown below.

Because the question states that the semi circles are at the ends of the rectangle, each semicircle has a radius of 30 m.

The circumference of the oval is
2π(30) + 2*120 = 60π + 240 m = 428.5 m

The area of the oval is 
π(30²) + 60*120 = 900π + 7200 m² = 1.0027 x 10⁴ m²

Note:
If the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then similar calculations yield:
Circumference = 120π + 120 m = 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7200 m² = 1.851 x 10⁴ m²

Answer:
If the semi circles are placed on the 60-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 60π + 240 m, or 428.5 m
Area = 900π + 7200 m², or 1.0027 x 10⁴ m²

if the semi circles are placed on the 120-m sides of the rectangle, then
Circumference = 120π + 120 m, or 497 m
Area = 3600π + 7500 m², or 1.851 x 10⁴ m²

There are 8 tennis players in a round robin tournament, which means each team will play every other team once. How many matches
Aliun [14]
<h3>Answer:  28</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Method 1

Imagine a table with 8 rows and 8 columns to represent all possible match-ups. You can actually draw out this table or just think of it as a thought experiment.

There are 8*8 = 64 entries in the table. Along the northwest diagonal, we have each team pair up with itself. This is of course silly and impossible. We cross off this entire diagonal so we drop to 64-8 = 56 entries.

Then notice that the lower left corner is a mirror copy of the upper right corner. A match-up like AB is the same as BA. So we must divide by 2 to get 56/2 = 28 different matches.

----------------------------------

Method 2

There are 8 selections for the first slot, and 8-1 = 7 selections for the second slot. We have 8*7 = 56 permutations and 56/2 = 28 combinations.

----------------------------------

Method 3

Use the nCr combination formula with n = 8 and r = 2

n C r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\8 C 2 = \frac{8!}{2!*(8-2)!}\\\\8 C 2 = \frac{8!}{2!*6!}\\\\8 C 2 = \frac{8*7*6!}{2!*6!}\\\\ 8 C 2 = \frac{8*7}{2!}\\\\ 8 C 2 = \frac{8*7}{2*1}\\\\ 8 C 2 = \frac{56}{2}\\\\ 8 C 2 = 28\\\\

There are 28 combinations possible. Order doesn't matter (eg: match-up AB is the same as match-up BA).

Notice how the (8*7)/2 expression is part of the steps shown above in the nCr formula.
