Hence the probability is mentioned below.

P(R)=25102P(B)=77102PE(R)=2577PB(R)=49101PD(R)=1225

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Two cards are drawn from a shuffled deck.

02

Definition of Probability.

Probability is a metric for determining the possibility of an event occurring.

03

Find the probability.

The probability is given as P(R)=N(R)N(S).

Two cards are drawn between 26 red cards so the number of elements of two red cards is given below.

N(R)=C(26,2)N(R)=325

The number of elements in a sample space is given as follows.

N(S)=C(52,2)N(S)=1326

Hence the probabilities are given below.

P(R)=3261326P(R)=25102

The probability B of getting one red card is given as follows.

P(B)=1C(26,2)C(52,2)P(B)=77102

The probability of getting both red if at least one of them is red is given below.

PB(R)=P(RB)P(B)PB(R)=25/10277/102PB(R)=2577

The probability of getting red if E at least one is red is given below.

PE(R)=N(RE)N(E)

Let’s assume that the first card is an ace so the number of red ace cards are two and there are still 50 cards so each red will make a couple with the other 50 cards so it will be 100 couples and one other couple 2 red aces.

N(E)=2×50+1N(E)=101

Among 101 couples, the couple where the first and second cards are red is 101 black cards with the first ace and another 26 cards with the second ace .

N(RE)=1012626N(RE)=49

The value of probability becomes as follows.

PB(R)=49101

Find the probability for D= exactly there are only ace.

N(D)=2×50N(D)=100P(RD)=1002626P(RD)=48

The probability is given below.

PD(R)=P(DR)P(D)PD(R)=48100PD(R)=1225

Hence the probability is mentioned below.

P(R)=25102P(B)=77102PE(R)=2577PB(R)=49101PD(R)=1225

p(A)=nNp(R)=3N

Most popular questions from this chapter

Use the sample space of Example 1 above, or one or more of your sample spaces in Problem 11, to answer the following questions.

(a) If there were more heads than tails, what is the probability of one tail?

(b) If two heads did not appear in succession, what is the probability of all tails?

(c) If the coins did not all fall alike, what is the probability that two in succession

were alike?

(d) If Nt=numberoftailsand Nh=numberofheads, what is the probability

That |Nh-Nt|=1?

(e) If there was at least one head, what is the probability of exactly two heads?

(a) In Example, 5a mathematical model is discussed which claims to give a distribution of identical balls into boxes in such a way that all distinguishable arrangements are equally probable (Bose-Einstein statistics). Prove this by showing that the probability of a distribution of N balls into n boxes (according to this model) with N1 balls in the first box, N2in the second, ··· , Nn in thenth , is1C(n1+N,N) for any set of numbers Ni such thatNii=1nNi=N.

b) Show that the model in (a) leads to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics if the drawn card is replaced (but no extra card added) and to Fermi-Dirac statistics if the drawn card is not replaced. Hint: Calculate in each case the number of possible arrangements of the balls in the boxes. First do the problem of 4particles in 6boxes as in the example, and then do N particles in n boxes (n>N ) to get the results in Problem19 .

A letter is selected at random from the alphabet. What is the probability that it is one of the letters in the word “probability?” What is the probability that it occurs in the first half of the alphabet? What is the probability that it is a letter after x?

Three coins are tossed; x = number of heads minus number of tails.
