Suppose you have a well-shuffled faced-down pile of poker cards: the Ace of Hearts, 2 of Hearts, 3 of Hearts, and 4 of Hearts. Y

ou start picking the cards from the top until both the Ace and the 2 are picked up. What is the expected number of cards you have to pick? (Enter your final answer in decimal format and round to three decimal places.)

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

A 2X2 square is centered at the origin. It is dilated by a factor of 3. What are coordinates of the vertices of the square?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The vertices are:

A' = (-3, -3)

B' = (3, -3)

C' = (3, 3)

D' = (-3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 2 x 2 square is centered at the origin.

So, the center of the square is (0, 0)

Since it is 2 x 2 square, the side of the square is 2 units.

So, the vertices of the 2 x 2 square are A (-1, -1),  B(1, -1), C(1. 1), D(-1, 1)

The above square is dilated by a factor of 3.

Let's name the dilated square A'B'C'D'

To find the coordinates of the vertices of dilated square, we need to multiply each vertices of ABCD by 3.

A(-1, -1) = 3(-1, -1) = A'(-3, -3)

B(1, -1) = 3(1, -1) = B'(3, -3)

C(1, 1) = 3(1, 1) = C'(3, 3)

D(-1, 1) = 3(-1, 1) = D'(-3, 3)

Triangle DEF, shown below, is reflected over the y-axis to form triangle D'E'F'. What are
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

(-6, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect coordinates over the y-axis, the x-coordinates remain the same, but the y-coordinates become their additive inverse.

The original coordinates for F are (6, -4).

The new coordinates for F would be F' (-6, -4).
