Find the number of possible 5-card hands that contain the cards specified from a standard 52-card deck.

A. A "red" card has either the heart or diamond suit. There are 26 of these. If we don't care about the order in which the cards are drawn (which is the assumption I'm using throughout this answer), then there are

\dbinom{26}5=\dfrac{26!}{5!(26-5)!}=65,780

such hands. To be clearer about the fact that we don't want "black" cards, we could also have written

\dbinom{26}5\dbinom{26}0

That is, we want 5 red cards but 0 black cards in our hand; there are 26 of each color to choose from. But the second term reduces to 1 and makes no difference anyway.

b. Now we want 4 spades (there are 13 in the deck) and 1 non-spade (39 non-spades in the deck) so we can make

\dbinom{13}4\dbinom{39}1=27,885

such hands.

c. Now we want 3 face cards (there are 3 per suit, with 4 suits altogether, giving a total of 12 face cards in the deck) and 2 non-face cards (40 in total), so we have

\dbinom{12}3\dbinom{40}2=171,600

possible hands.

d. Now we want 2 aces (4 total in the deck) and 3 non-aces (48 remaining), so we have

\dbinom42\dbinom{48}3=103,776

e. Now, we want at most 1 diamond. So either there are no diamonds or exactly 1 diamond in the hand. There are

\dbinom{13}0\dbinom{39}5+\dbinom{13}1\dbinom{39}4=1,645,020

such possible hands.

f. Finally, we want at least 1 king in the hand, which means we can have between 1 and 4 kings. We can add up the possible hands like in part (e),

\dbinom41\dbinom{48}4+\dbinom42\dbinom{48}3+\dbinom43\dbinom{48}2+\dbinom44\dbinom{48}1

but computing that can get tedious very quickly.

Instead, let's consider the number of hands *not* containing any kings at all. There are

\dbinom40\dbinom{48}5=1,712,304

such possible hands.

With the event of getting at least 1 king in mind, we can see that every possible 5 card hand either has at least 1 king or it does not. These events are disjoint, so

\text{total 5 card hands}=\text{total hands with at least 1 king}+\text{total hands without kings}

So the number of at-least-1-king hands is

\dbinom{52}5-\dbinom40\dbinom{48}5=886,656

Which statement is true regarding the graphed functions?
just olya [345]

ANSWER

f(0) = g(0)

EXPLANATION

From the graph we

g(0) =  - 2

because this is where the line x= 0 meets the graph of g(x).

Also

f(0) =  - 2

because this is where the line x= 0 meets the graph of f(x).

This implies that,

f(0) = g(0)

The correct choice is A.

Given s = 10 and h = 15. Find the total surface area of the square prism.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hight

s = sides

surface = 10 x 15

surface = 150

(V = 10 x 10 x 15

(V = 100 x 15)

(V = 1500)

(Base area = B)

(B = Lenght x Width)

(B = 10 x 10)

(B = 100)

Caroline earns $49000 a year, and her friend Jennifer earns $51000 a year but doesn't belong to a health fund. The tax rule this
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Caroline has to pay $8600 taxes

Jennifer has to pay $10320 taxes

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the question is who has to pay how much taxes, right ?

Caroline earns $49000, and I guess, she belongs to a health fund.

she has to pay $5000 for the first $40000.

and for the remaining $9000 she has to pay $0.40 per dollar.

that means 9000×0.4 = $3600

and no penalties for no health fund.

so altogether $5000 + $3600 = $8600 taxes

Jennifer earns $51000 and did not belong to a health fund.

she has to pay $9000 for the first $50000.

and for the remaining $1000 she had to pay $0.30 part dollar.

that means 1000×0.3 = $300

and 2% of the total income because no health fund

51000×0.02 = $1020

so, altogether $9000+$300+$1020 = $10320 taxes
