Hence, 52 is the denominator of your probability fraction.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are two ways to look at calculating the numerator. You can say that there are 13 diamonds plus 3 kings that are not diamonds for a total of 16, or you can say that there are 12 diamonds that are not a king plus 4 kings, again for a total of 16.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, 16 over 52. You just need to reduce the fraction.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
