Question 369802: concern 2-card hands from a standard 52-card deck.. A standard deck has13 cards from each of 4 suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades). The 13 cards have face value 2 through10, jack, queen, king, or ace. Each face value is a "kind" of card. The jack, queen, and king are "face cards."
20. What is the probability that exactly one card is a spade?
21. What is the probability that at least one card is a spade?
22. What is the probability that both cards are face cards?
23. What is the probability that both cards are spade face cards?

64. A directory on a computer's hard disk contains 12 files, 3 of which have viruses. If a file with a virus is selected, the virus is detected and another file is then selected. Find the expected number of files that must be selected before a virus-free file is found

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 20. What is the probability that exactly one card is a spade?
P(Spade followed by NonSpade + Nonspade followed by Spade)=
(13/52)*(39/51)+(39/52)*(13/51)
21. What is the probability that at least one card is a spade?
=1-P(both NonSpade) = 1-39/52*(38/51)
22. What is the probability that both cards are face cards?
P(face followed by face)=16/52*(15/51)
23. What is the probability that both cards are spade face cards?
=4/52*(3/51)

50. What is the probability of getting the first two questions correct?
P(CC)=1/2*1/2=1/4
52. What is the probability of getting all four questions correct given that the answers to the first two questions are correct?
P(four correct/first two correct)=P(last two correct)=1/2*(1/2)=1/4
