Algebra.Com's Answer #530395 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(face card|queen) means \"the probability that you draw a face card given you have drawn a queen\"\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That part \"given you have drawn a queen\" means it is 100% known that you pulled out a queen. This is \"given\" to you. It's assumed to be true.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since all queens are face cards, this means drawing a queen tells us we also drew a face card.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if we're guaranteed a queen, then we are guaranteed a face card.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Making P(face card|queen) = 1\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A probability of 1 represents 100% which is absolution certainty. \n" ); document.write( " |
