Part 1: In two or more complete sentences, explain how to find the probability of being dealt three kings from a standard deck o

f 52 cards when three cards are dealt. In your final answer, include all necessary steps and calculations.

1) We have that there are (52,3) ways to pick 3 cards out of 52 cards. Also, there are (4,3) ways to pick 3 kings out of the 4 total available kings in the deck.  In essence, we need to have one of those ways to be the selected 3 cards. Hence, the probability is the ration (4,3)/(52,3). Computing this:
P=\frac{1*2*3*4}{(1*2*3)*1} /  \frac{52*51*50}{1*2*3} = \\  \frac{4*1*2*3}{52*51*50}=0.0181%
The probability is very low but not negligible.

2) The Pascal triangle defines a recursive relationship. Hence, we would need to calculate all the binomial coefficients up to 51. Thus, it is not at all practical to use the Pascal Triangle to calculate the ways. It is easier to do the direct computation.

Answer with explanation:

Part 1

Number of Kings in the deck of 52 card =4 kings

Number of ways of selecting 3 kings from 4 kings

                           =_{3}^{4}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{4!}{(4-3)!\times 3!}\\\\=\frac{4 \times 3!}{3!}\\\\=4    

Probability of an event

                        =\frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total Possible Outcome}}

Probability of selecting three kings from a standard deck of 52 cards

                           =\frac{_{3}^{4}\textrm{C}}{_{3}^{52}\textrm{C}}\\\\=\frac{4}{\frac{52!}{49!*3!}}\\\\=\frac{4}{22100}\\\\=\frac{1}{5525}

Part 2:  

When you use the word Pascal's triangle , it is used to expand the expansion containing two or more terms having whole term raised to power n, where n is a positive Integer.No, Pascal's triangle is not an appropriate method to determine the probability in Part 1.It will be Lengthier.

How do you simplify (25/a -a l) / (5+a)
andrey2020 [161]

Simplify the following:

(25/a - a l)/(a + 5)


Put each term in 25/a - a l over the common denominator a: 25/a - a l = 25/a - (a^2 l)/a:

(25/a - (a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

25/a - (a^2 l)/a = (25 - a^2 l)/a:

Answer: ((25 - a^2 l)/a)/(a + 5)

On an algebra test, the highest grade was 42 points higher than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 138. Find the lo
miv72 [106K]


you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t^2 - 0.5t + 3.
Bingel [31]
The average rate of change (m) is the ratio of the change in function value to the width of the interval:
  m = (f(6) - f(2))/(6 - 2)

To compute this, we need to compute f(6) and f(2).
  f(6) = (0.25*6 -0.5)*6 +3.5 = 9.5
  f(2) = (0.25*2 - 0.5)*2 +3.5 = 3.5
Then the average rate of change is
  m = (9.5 - 3.5)/(6 - 2) = 6/4 = 1.5

The average rate of change is 1.5 thousand owners per year.
