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

Will give brainliest, <br> (404/4)x(2x2) to the power of 2.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

163216

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's the sign of multiplication

404/4=101

2*2=4*101=404^2=163216

or,

If it's x

(404/4)x(2x2)

(101)x(2x2)

101x (4x)^2

1616x^2

2611456

I am not sure if it's right
