Suppose that you and a friend are playing cards and decide to make a bet. If your friend draws three non-face cards, where a fac

e card is a Jack, a Queen, or a King, in succession from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement, you give him $10. Otherwise, he pays you $20. If the same bet was made 25 times, how much would you expect to win or lose? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

First let us calculate the probability that three non-face cards will be drawn in succession without replacement.

There are 40 non-face cards in a deck of 52 cards.

Probability of 3 successive non-face cards = (40/52)*(39/51)*(38/50) = 0.447

Therefore, the probability that it will not be 3 successive non-face cards is 1-0.447 = 0.553

Hence, for each game the expected return would be:

Return = 0.447 * (-$10) + 0.553 ($20) = $6.59 per bet

For 25 bets:

Total return = $6.59 * 25

Total return = $164.75

If the bet is performed 25 times, expect to win $164.75.

When a figure is dilated, the resulting figure is always (5 points)
AysviL [449]
When a figure is dilated, this means the corresponding sides of the shape is enlarged in a uniform multiple. In this case, the ratio of the sides remains the same. Thus, when ratio of the sides remain the same, the corresponding angles are also congruent in the dilated figure. The answer here is B. similar

One number is 6 more than other number. Also, 7 times the smaller number is equal to 6 times the
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The numbers are 36 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the two numbers  by m and n, m being the larger number and n the smaller.  Then

m = n + 6.  also, 7n = 6m

Substitute n + 6 for m in the second equation:  7n = 6(n + 6).

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get 7n = 6n + 36, or n = 36.

Then m = n + 6, which here is m = 36 + 6 = 42.

The numbers are 36 and 42.

Nadia is asked to find a number such that the difference between five times the number and three less than twice the number is e
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Nadia is incorrect, please check explanations for the correction to her work

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to validate the wok of Nadia

Let the number be n

5 times the number is 5 * n = 5n

Difference between 5n and 3 less than twice the number

3 less than twice the number is 2n-3

So it should be 2n-3 ;

The solution is thus;

5n - (2n-3) = 18

5n - 2n + 3 = 18

3n + 3 = 18

3n = 18-3

3n = 15

n = 15/3

n = 5
