document.write( "What I've tried so far.
\n" );
document.write( "a)On this problem I'm not sure what kind of prob to use. wether the fraction or nCr. But the way I approached this problem I did prob of a jack of hearts is 1/52 since there is only one of that specific card. And the card is a red card is half of that since it's either black or red. so 1/26 is my guess.

document.write( "However, for b), I am not sure how to get the answer there. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #233842 by solver91311(24713) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you just draw a card out of a deck, then yes the probability that it is the jack of hearts is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But the first three givens change your denominator. There are only 26 red cards, 13 hearts, and 4 jacks, so \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The last given changes both numerator and denominator. There are 13 spades so your denominator goes to 13, but zero of the spades are the jack of hearts, hence \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
