There are four aces, 12 face cards and 4 7s in a standard 52 card deck. The probability of getting an ace on the first draw is 4/52 or 1/13. For the second draw there are now 51 cards in the deck (assuming the draws are without replacement), so the probability of getting a face card is 12/51. Given an ace and a face card on the first two draws, the probability of a 7 on the third draw is 4/50 or 2/25. The probability of getting all three is 1/13*12/51*2/25.

Six stand-up comics, A, B, C, D, E, and F, are to perform on a single evening at a comedy club. The order of performance is

kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) 1/6

b) 1/36

c) 1/720

d) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Any of the six comics can perform in the fourth place, so there is one chance in six that Comic F is the one that performs fourth.

$P(F=4th)=1/6$

b) In this case, we have two conditions. Both are independent of each other, so the probability of both happening is the product of the probabilities of each happening individually:

$P(D=4th \&B=2nd)=P(D=4th)\cdot P(B=2nd)=(1/6)\cdot(1/6)=1/36$

c) This combination is one in all possible orders of perform. The amount of combinations of orders is n!=6!=720 possible combinations. So the probability of this specific order is:

$P(F, D, B, A, C, E)=1/720$

d) In this case, of the six possible comics performing in the last place, we calculate the probability of 2 of them being in that place. So the probability is:

$P(C=6th\,or\, E=6th)=2/6=1/3$
