Suppose that 5 cards are drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that all 5 are not black?

1 answer:

6 0

Here's the way I see it: 5 cards are drawn, one by one, without replacement. Half (or 26) of the original deck are black and half (26) are white.

P(5 are not black) = P(5 are red)

P(5 are not black) = P(first card is red) * P(second card is red) * P(third card is red)*P(fourth card is red)*P(fifth card is red) =

(26/52) * (25/51) * (24/50) * (23/49) * (22/48) = 0.025 (answer)

We start with 52 cards. We draw one, leaving 51 cards, 25 of which are red. And so on.

What are the intercepts of the line 2x + 4y = 12?

Darina [25.2K]

if you're finding the x intercept, y is ALWAYS 0, so in this, you can just get rid of the -4y because you know that it's 0, so you're left with 2x=12 divide by 2 on both sides so you find x intercept is (6,0) on the graph
the y works the same way, if you're looking for the y, you know that the x is zero, so you're left with -4y=12, divide by -4y on both sides and you end up with the y intercept being (0,-3)

x int.= (6,0)
y int.= (0,-3)

by the way, when it's written like that, it's called standard form, so to find the intercepts on 2x=12+4y, you'd have to convert it into standard form (Ax=By=C) so you subtract 4y on both sides to make it 2x-4y=12, and then once you have it like that you can do the math to find the y and x intercepts.

3rd grade math explain how you know if a number can be divided by 10 evenly

Look at the last digit. If the last digit is 0, then the number can be divided by 10 evenly (without a remainder).
