Answer:

$- \frac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

(x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate while (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate.

Gradient of the line

$= \frac{6 - ( - 2)}{ - 2 - 3}$

$= \frac{6 + 2}{ - 5}$

$= - \frac{8}{5}$

You read online that the probability of being dealt four‑of‑a‑kind in a five‑card poker hand is 1 / 4165. Explain carefully what

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

There is about 4,164/4,165 chances of not getting getting a four of a kind. So, it is extremely unlikely or even borderline impossible in that situation to get a four of a kind.

But in the long run, it can be increased only if you keep drawing. So, the awnser would have to be. D

Step-by-step explanation:

A. It does mean that if you are dealt 4165 five‑card poker hands, one will be four‑of‑a‑kind.

B. It does not mean that all will be four‑of‑a‑kind. The probability is actually saying that only on the 4165 the poker hand will you get a four‑of‑a‑kind, not just on any of the 4165 poker hands.

C. The probability is actually saying that in the long run, with a large number of five‑card poker hands, the fraction in which you will be dealt a four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165.

D. The chance you will be dealt four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165 only on the first hand. This chance will then increase with each new hand you are dealt until you eventually win

Samantha works at an animal shelter. She decides to track the total number of kittens that are brought in. The equation k=4w+3 r

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $k=4w+3$ represents the total number of kittens, where $w$ represents the number of weeks that have passed since Samantha started counting.

This means options C and D are false, because they say the total number of kittens that have come into the shelter.

$w$ represents the number of weeks, weeks can be counted 0 weeks, first week, second week and so on, so option B is true (the domain is all whole numbers) because 0, 1, 2, 3, ... are whole numbers.

Number of weeks can't be a negative number. Since "real numbers" include negatives, therefore, we exclude option A.
