Answer: 0.0000842890

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of hearts in a deck = 13

Probability of being dealt 6 hearts :

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

Required outcome = choosing 6 hearts from a possible 13

13C6:

Recall : nCr = (n! / (n-r)!r!)

13C6 = 13! / (13-6)!6!

13C6 = 13! / 7!6!

13C6 = (13*12*11*10*9*8)/(6*5*4*3*2*1)

13C6 = 1235520 / 730

13C6 = 1716

Total possible outcomes :

52C6 = 52! / (52-6)!6!

52C6 = 52! / 46!6!

52C6 = (52*51*50*49*48*47)/(6*5*4*3*2*1)

52C6 = 14658134400 / 720

52C6 = 20358520

Hence,

P(6 hearts) = 1716 / 20358520

P(6 hearts) = 0.0000842890

Line Equation from Two Points

Verdich [7]

Hi!

We can use point-slope form to solve this.

$y-y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$

$y_{1}$ and $x_{1}$ will be from one of the points.

First, we have to find $m$ , the slope. We can use the slope equation to get this.

$\frac{y_{1} -y_{2} }{x_{1} -x_{2} }$

Plug in your points:

$\frac{4-0}{8-(-8)} =\frac{4-0}{8+8} =\frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}$

Your slope is $\frac{1}{4}$

Now plug points and slope into point-slope equation. We will use (8, 4).

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)$

Now, if you want to get it into y = mx + b form, you have to solve for y:

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)$

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} x-2$

$y=\frac{1}{4} +2$

Your equation is $y=\frac{1}{4} +2$
