Twelve people each have a standard deck of cards. Each person shuffles the deck and draws two cards (without replacement). Anyone who draws at least one diamond wins a prize. To the nearest whole number, about how many of the twelve will win a prize

The number of people, of the twelve, who will win a prize is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards there are 52 cards.

The 52 cards are divided into 4 suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs, each of 13 cards.

Each of the 12 people draws 2 cards from their standard deck of cards.

Compute the probability of selecting at least 1 diamond as follows:

P (At least 1 diamond) = 1 - P (No diamond)

The probability of selecting at least 1 diamond is 0.4412.

If a person draws at least 1 diamond he wins a prize.

The expected number of people who will win the prize is:

E (Wins a prize) = n × P (At least 1 diamond)

Thus, the number of people of the twelve who will win a prize is 5.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
