Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 5252 playing cards. What is the probability of choosing a heart and then, without replacement, a spade? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places

≈ 0.0637

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.

To find: probability of choosing a heart and then, without replacement, a spade

Solution:

Probability refers to chance of occurrence of any event.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total number of outcomes

Total number of cards = 52

Number of hearts = 13

So,

probability of choosing a heart =

Number of remaining cards =

Number of spades = 13

Probability of choosing a spade =

Events consisting of choosing a heart and spade are independent.

So,

Probability of choosing a heart and then, without replacement, a spade =

Probability of choosing a heart × Probability of choosing a spade

= ≈ 0.0637

answer:

a=9

step-by-step explanation: lmk if you need a explanation

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.
