Answer:

3.5 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for picking cards until the A of hearts and the two of hearts are picked up is:

{A,2} {2,A}

{A,1,2} {A,3,2} {A,4,2} {2,1,A} {2,3,A} {A,4,A}

{A,1,3,2} {A,1,4,2} {A,3,1,2} {A,3,4,2} {A,4,1,2} {A,4,3,2}

{2,1,3,A} {2,1,4,A} {2,3,1,A} {2,3,4,A} {2,4,1,A} {2,4,3,A}

There are 20 possible outcomes

The probabilities of needing 2, 3 or 4 cards to draw both the ace and the two of hears are:

P(2)=\frac{2}{20}=\frac{1}{10}\\P(3)=\frac{6}{20} =\frac{3}{10}\\P(4)=\frac{12}{20} =\frac{6}{10}

The expected number of cards needed is:

EV=2*P(2)+3*(P3)+4*P(4)\\EV=0.1*2+0.3*3+0.6*4\\EV=3.5\ cards

The answer is J. 2.0. This is because when you substitute in N = 2, you get (4.2 × 2)/1.2 = 8.4/1.2 = 7, and 7 is an integer.

Alex purchased a new car for $28,000. The car's value depreciates 7.25% each year. What will be the value of the car 5 years aft
Zanzabum
The value would be 28,000*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)*(1-0.0725)
which is 28,000*0,9275^{5}
which equals 28,000*0.6863=$19,219
