Concept explainers
Exercises 35–38 refer to a standard deck of playing cards. If you are unfamiliar with playing cards, see the description on page 650.
35. During a game of Texas Hold’em poker, each of four players is dealt two cards, then the dealer “burns” a card (puts it face down), then deals the “flop” (three cards face up). He then burns another card, then flips over the “turn” card (one card face up). One player needs a spade on the “turn” to make a flush. No one else has a spade, and he has two in his hand and there are two on the flop. If neither of the burn cards are spades, what’s the probability the turn card will be a spade?

- The bus has left seats and right seats with the maximum seating capacity of 48 persons. what is the mathematical representation?arrow_forwardAn archery target consists of a gold circle with radius of 5 inches surrounded by a red ring whose diameter is 20 inches. Next, there are three progressively larger rings – blue, black, and white. The diameter of each ring is 10 inches larger than the diameter of the previous ring. John is a beginner so his aim is poor and, if his arrow hits the target, its location on the target is completely at random. John shoots and then yells, “I hit it!” Without using your calculator, find the following probabilities. Write the answers as a percentage. a) The probability his arrow landed in the gold circle is ______. b) The probability his arrow landed in the white area is ______. c) The probability his arrow landed in the red or the blue area is ______.arrow_forwardThe game of pool uses 15 balls numbered from 1 to 15 (see figure). In the game of rotation, a player attempts to "sink" a ball in a pocket of the table and receives the number of points on the ball. Answer the question. Suppose we consider a game of "super pool," which has 33 consecutively numbered bạlls on the table. How many points would a player receive to "run the table"? (To "run the table" means to sink all the balls.) points 13 15 14 12arrow_forward
- A coin is tossed four times, then find its P.M.F. and C.D.F. respectively.arrow_forwardImagine a game show on television where one lucky contestant is presented with three upside-down buckets that are numbered 1, 2, and 3. Under one of the buckets is a five-ounce gold bar. Under each of the other two buckets is a lump of coal. After the game ends, the contestant receives what is under his or her bucket. The host of the game show asks the contestant to choose one of the three buckets. After the contestant makes a choice, the host lifts up one of the remaining two buckets to reveal a lump of coal under it. At this point, only two buckets remain uncovered: the bucket that the contestant originally chose and the bucket that was not uncovered by the host. The host subsequently asks the contestant if he or she would like to keep the original bucket or change buckets to the only other bucket remaining. 1. If the contestant does not change buckets and stays with the original bucket chosen, what is the probability that the contestant will win the five-ounce gold bar?

The students shoot a series of baskets and record their success using a regulation colored basketball. They then switch to a blue colored basketball and shoot the same series of baskets. .arrow_forward
