Question

. Which pair has equally likely outcomes? List the letters of the two choices below which have equal probabilities of success, separated by a comma. A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards).

A. drawing a black seven out of a standard 52 card deck given it’s not a face card or an Ace.
B. rolling a sum of 4 on two fair six sided dice
C. drawing a three out of a standard 52 card deck given it’s not a face card or an Ace.
D. rolling a sum of 9 on two fair six sided dice
E. rolling a sum of 7 on two fair six sided dice

Answer 1

do you want the probabilities of each?

Answer 2

working backwards, E has probability
\[\frac{1}{6}\]

Answer 3

well it just asks which pair has equally like out comes

Answer 4

D has probability
\[\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\]

Answer 5

there are 12 face cards and 4 aces so if you know you did not get one of those there are 52-16 = 36 cards left to choose from and 2 black sevens so the probability of A is
\[\frac{2}{36}=\frac{1}{18}\]

Answer 6

that was A sorry i am going out of order

Answer 7

lol

Answer 8

rolling as sum of 4 on two dice has probability
\[\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}\]

Answer 9

i have yet to see the same number twice. maybe the last one?

Answer 10

i dont think i have to give the probablily i think i just have to list the 2 that are..

Answer 11

well in order to find them we need to compute. i haven't seen the same number twice.

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

last one... there are 4 threes. not face card or ace means you have 36 cards left in the deck. so the probability you get a 3 given it is not a face card or an ace is
\[\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\] whew

Answer 14

same as probability of rolling a 9 on two fair dice. what a pain!

Answer 15

lol the last problems you helped me on.. helped get my grade up to a 60% intstead of 44

Answer 16

still there?
