Answer:

10.97%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards.

13 of them, are hearts.

Then

52 - 13 = 39 cards are not hearts.

4 cards are drawn, we want to find the percent chance that the fourth card is a heart card, but no before.

So the first card can't be a heart card.

because the deck is well-shuffled, all the cards have the same probability of being drawn.

Then the probability of not getting a heart card, is equal to the quotient between the number of non-heart cards (39) and the total number of cards (52), then the probability is:

p₁ = 39/52

The second card also can't be a heart card, the probability is calculated in the same way than above, but now there are 38 non-heart cards and a total of 51 cards (because one card was already drawn) then the probability here is:

p₂ = 38/51

For the third card the reasoning is similar to the two above cases, here the probability is:

p₃ = 37/50

The fourth card should be a hearts card, the probability is computed in the same way than above, as the quotient between the number of heart cards in the deck (13) and the total number of cards in the deck (now there are 49 cards)

then the probability is:

p₄ = 13/49

The joint probability (the probability of these 4 events happening together) is equal to the product between the individual probabilities:

P = p₁*p₂*p₃*p₄

P = (39/52)*(38/51)*(37/50)*(13/49) = 0.1097

The percent chance is the above number times 100%

Percent =  0.1097*100% = 10.97%

Lisa had 1750 stamps. Mark had 480 fewer stamps than Lisa. Lisa gave some stamps to Mark. Now Mark has three times as many stamp
FrozenT [24]
L: 1750, M:1750-480=1270
Lisa gave some stamps to Mark so Lisa now has 1750-x and Mark has 1270+x. Mark also has 3 times as many as Lisa now: (1750-x)*3=1270+x
5250-3*x=1270+x
4*x=3980, x=3980/4, x=995
So Lisa gave 995 stamps to Mark.
At first Mark had 1270 stamps. Lisa now has 1750-995=755 stamps.
