Algebra.Com's Answer #696143 by math_helper(2461)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! (i) P(Drawing two cards and having at least one be a king) is the same as 1 - P(no king appears in the draw) \n" ); document.write( "and the latter is easier to calculate directly: \n" ); document.write( " P (no king in a draw of 2 cards) = (48/52)*(47/51) = 564/663 \n" ); document.write( "P(rawing two cards and having at least one be a king) = \n" ); document.write( " 1 - 564/663 = 99/663 = \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=============\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(ii) Say you pick the two cards one at a time from the 4 queens: P(red then black) + P(black then red) = \n" ); document.write( "(2/4)*(2/3) + (2/4)*(2/3) = 8/12 = \n" ); document.write( "— \n" ); document.write( "This can be also be seen by the number of arrangements possible for the 4 queens: \n" ); document.write( " RRBB, RBRB, RBBR, BBRR, BRBR, BRRB and say you just deal out the first two of these, exactly \n" ); document.write( "4 out of the 6 possible arrangements will give you one R and one B. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
