Hi. topic is applicaion of probability which is expected outcomes.
1) Two cards are selectec at random from a normal playing pack with replacement. This experiment is repeated 2704 times with the cards being replaced each time.
a)What is the expected numbers of times the result would be two spades?
b)What is the expected numbers of times the result would be two aces?

im pretty sure that b) is 208. 4/52 cards are aces therefore 4/52 x 2704 should give you the answer
think u then divide the answer by two as you only need two cards

 

[cute-teddy]

the answer on the back of the maths book says B) is 16

I don't do general, but anyways here

Answers for A and B are the same, but the calculation below is for (B).
P(AA) = (4/52 x 4/52) x 2704 = 16

 

[cute-teddy]

answer for a) is 169

 

[enoilgam]

a) 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16. 2704 x 1/16 = 169. I think thats how you do it.

Thank you everyone for your help

Perfect timing. Topic AM3 Algebra - the answer for this is x = 6.
This probably sounds stupid, but how do you solve it?

Simplify the left hand side first then proceed from there.

4x/9 + 3(x+1)/9 = 5

(4x+3x+3)=45

7x = 42

x = 6

I have another question, can someone help me with this question:
I just don't understand the concept of it, I get the method when I see the answer, but not the concept of it.
