Answer:

0.0043957 ; 0.105498 ; 2nd option is better

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1:

First card :P(club) = 13/52

Second card: P(diamond) = 13/51

Third card : P(heart) = 13 / 50

Fourth card: P(spade) = 13/49

Hence,

P(club, diamond, heart, spade) = (13/52) * (13/51) * (13/50) * (13/49) = 0.0043957

Probability of winning $10 = 0.0043957

2nd option:

P(card of different suit) [order of arrangement does not matter]

(13C1 * 13C1 * 13C1 * 13C1) / 52C4

= 28561 / 270725

= 0.105498

Probability of winning $10 = 0.105498

Because the probability of winning for the second option is higher than for the first option, then the second option is better.

Modern computers are built using the principle of Hierarchical layers of abstraction. Explain Hierarchical layers of abstraction
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Hierarchical layers of abstraction in computers are used to hide information and manage deep functionality by allowing the separation to facilitate  platform independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hierarchical layers of abstraction in computers:

Hierarchical layers of abstraction in computers are used to hide information and manage deep functionality by allowing the separation to facilitate  platform independence.

In Hierarchical layers, users work independently at each level of the hierarchy.

example:

Abstraction in computing is language abstraction

Development of programming languages from machine language to  assembly language and then high-level language is an example of  Hierarchical layers of abstraction. Here each stage is a base for the next stage.

A student makes a sign out of a rectangular piece of cardboard for an upcoming event at school. The piece of cardboard has a len
seraphim [82]

Answer:

915 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle :

Length = 32 inches

Width = 25 - (10+10) = 25 - 20 = 5 inches

Area of rectangle = Length * width

Area = 32 * 5 = 160 in²

Area of triangle :

Base = 25 inches

Height = (46 - 32) inches = 14 inches

Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 25 * 14 = 175 in²

Total area = (160 + 175)in² = 335 in²

Total area of cardboard :

50 inches * 25 inches = 1250 in²

Amount of cardboard not used :

(1250 - 335) in² = 915 in²

Acapulco, Mexico and Hyderabad, India both lie at 17° north latitude, and lie very nearly halfway around the world from each oth
Nataly_w [17]
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:
L=2 \pi R \frac{C}{360}
Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass

We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:
L=2* \pi *3960* \frac{180}{360}  \\  \\ L=12440.71 miles

If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:
L=2* \pi *3960* \frac{146}{360} \\ \\ L=10090.8 miles

We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles
