Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add 1/4+2/3.

You need to change the denominator so that they are equal to each other

If you multiply the 1/4 by 3/3 you will get 3/12 which is equal to 1/4

Then you need to do the same to 2/3. This time you need to multiply it by 4/4 to get the same denominator which will be 2/3*4/4=8/12

Then you add 3/12+8/12=11/12. You don't need to add the denominator.

After this you will need to subtract 11/12 and 1/2. This time you need to only change the denominator for 1/2.

You multiply the denominator and numerator by 6/6 to 1/2 and you will get 6/12 then you are going to subtract 11/12-6/12 and you will get 5/12

Find the probability of getting four consecutive aces when four cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 p

posledela

Answer:

P=0.0000037

P=0.00037%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

A standard deck of 52 playing cards has 4 aces.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$

Now we got an ace, there are 3 more aces out of 51 cards.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{51}=\frac{1}{17}$

Now we have 2 aces out of 50 cards.

The probability of getting one of those aces is

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{50}=\frac{1}{25}$

Finally, the probability of getting the remaining ace out of the 49 cards is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{49}$

The probability of getting the four consecutive aces is the product of the above-calculated probabilities:

$\displaystyle P= \frac{1}{13}\cdot\frac{1}{17}\cdot\frac{1}{27}\cdot\frac{1}{49}$

$\displaystyle P= \frac{1}{270,725}$

P=0.0000037

P=0.00037%

A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a bullfrog will consume per week. S

Realize that since 2x and 3x - 1 are equal to each other, they are also equal to y. This means that we can craft two equations, y = 2x and y = 3x - 1.

When you want to solve a systems of equations via a graph, you need to plot both equations on a graph and determine the x- and y-value of where the lines intersect. In this case, we would plot both y = 2x and y = 3x - 1. These lines intersect at the point (1, 2).

Since we are trying to find the day the bullfrog will be able to eat the entire population, or x, we are going to use the x-value of our point as our answer. Thus, our answer is 1 day.
