Suppose you pick two cards from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that they are both queens?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes

The combinations formula is important in this problem:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

Desired outcomes

You want 2 queens. Four cards are queens. I am going to call then A,B,C,D. A and B is the same outcome as B and A. That is, the order is not important, so this is why we use the combinations formula.

The number of desired outcomes is a combinations of 2 cards from a set of 4(queens). So

$D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6$

Total outcomes

Combinations of 2 from a set of 52(number of playing cards). So

$T = C_{52,2} = \frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!} = 1326$

What is the probability that they are both queens?

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{1326} = 0.0045$

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Can anyone please help me with 8th grade math? I will give BRAIN!!!

Anit [1.1K]

The given percentage scores are:

80 , 92 , 91 , 75 , 89 , 84 , 0 , 85

A. Calculate the average

So, the average = (sum of the scores)/(number of the scores)

Sum of the scores = 80 + 92 + 91 + 75 + 89 + 84 + 0 + 85 = 596

The number of the scores = 8

So,

The average = 596/8 = 74.5%

Does the average score really represent her abilities ?

No, because there is outlier which is ( 0 ) which mean it may be absent this test

the other scores are within 75 and 92

Which mean the average is less than the reasonable minimum score

====================================================================

B. Brandee received 78% at the missed test

so, we will find the new mean:

The new sum of the scores = 80 + 92 + 91 + 75 + 89 + 84 + 78 + 85 = 674

The new mean = 674/8 = 84.25%

====================================================================

C. What different did 0% score make ?

So, 0% give us not accurate representation of the student abilities

Does this new mean represent her abilities accurately ?

Yes

John is about to roll a six-sided, fair number cube 60 times. He wants to predict how many times the cube will land on an even n

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Even numbers
so each dice has numbers
1,2,3,4,5,6
the eve numbers are
2,4,6
odd are others
1,3,5
so 1/2 are odd

therefor 1/2 of 60 is how many times it would get even
1/2 of 60=1/2 times 60=30

No not good predicition
my prediction would be 30 tiemes
