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

1 gallon = 8 pints, so  2 gallons = 16 pints.
If each container can hold one pint, then she will need 16 containers.

What is <2 if <4 is 35
Rudiy27

Answer:

2 is 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

bc the half of 4 is 2 since 4 is 35 we have to find the half of 35 and how we do that is by dividing it by 2.

35%2=17.5 so 2 is equal 17.5 so <2 is 17.5

Henry received $500 for his birthday which he intends to invest in an account that pays simple interest at the rate of 12% per y
Mila [183]

Answer:

$560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P= $500

Interest rate, r = 12% per year

Amount in account after 1 year

Time = 1 year

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = final amount in account

A = $500(1 + 0.12(1))

A = $500(1 + 0.12)

A = $500(1.12)

A = $560
