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?

These 7 rules are: no smoking, regular exercise, use alcohol moderately, get seven to eight hours of sleep, maintain proper weight, eat breakfast, and do not eat between meals. In how many ways can a person adopt 5 of these rules to follow , if the person never drinks and always eats breakfast?arrow_forward

Because the defendant is a sports celebrity, many people noticed him before he reached Chicago. Twenty-two people saw him casually, one person on the plane to Chicago carefully studied his hands looking for a championship ring, and another person stood with him as he signed autographs and drove him from the airport to the hotel. None of these 24 people saw a cut on the defendant’s finger. If in fact he was not cut at all, it would be extremely unlikely that he left blood at the murder scene. (a) Because a person casually meeting the defendant would not be looking for a cut, assume that the probability is .9 that such a person would not have seen the cut, even if it was there. Furthermore, assume that the person who carefully looked at the…arrow_forwardin a California study, Dean Lester Breslow and Dr. James Enstrom of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Health concluded that the following 7 simple health rules a man’s life can be extended by eleven years on the average and a woman’s life by seven. These 7 rules are: no smoking, regular exercise, use alcohol moderately, get seven to eight hours of sleep, maintain proper weight, eat breakfast, and do not eat between meals.
