One Card Is Selected at Random from a Standard Deck of Playing Cards Homework #1-4: One card is selected at random from a standard deck of playing cards. Determine the probability of: P (A or B). Hint use the formula: P(A or B) = P(A) P(B) – P(A and B) 1. A = an ace B = a jack P(ace) = 4/52 = 1/13 P(jack) = 4/52 = 1/13 P(ace and jack) = 0/52 = 0 as there is no card that is both an ace and a jack P(ace or jack) = P(ace) + P(jack) – P(ace and jack) = 1/13 + 1/13 - 0 = 2/13 Answer: 2/13 3. A = an ace B = a diamond P(ace) = 4/52 P(diamond) = 13/52 P(ace and diamond) = 1/52 (this is counting the ace of diamonds) P(ace or diamond) = P(ace) + P(diamond) – P(ace and diamond) = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52 Answer: 16/52 = 4/13 Homework #5-8 use the formula P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) to answer the following. 5) If P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.6 and P(A and B) = 0.2 find P(A or B) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 0.5 + 0.6 – 0.2 Answer: 0.9 7) If P(A or B) = 0.8, P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.6 find P(A and B) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) 0.8 = 0.5 + 0.6 – P(A and B) 0.8 = 1.1 – P(A and B) -1.1__-1.1 -0.3 = -P(A and B) Answer: P(A and B) = 0.3 Homework: #9 – 12: a single dice is rolled one time. Find the probability of rolling 9) An odd number or a number greater than 2 P(odd number or a number greater than 2) = P(odd) + P(>2) – P(odd and >2) = 3/6 + 4/6 - 2/6 Answer: 5/6 11) A number less than 3 or greater than 5 P(< 3 or > 5) = P(<3) + P(>5) – P(< 3 and > 5) = 2/6 + 1/6 - 0/6 Answer: 3/6 = ½ 13) A jack or a diamond P(jack) = 4/52 P(diamond) = 13/52 P(jack and diamond) = 1/52 (this is counting the jack of diamonds) P(jack or diamond) = P(jack) + P(diamond) – P(jack and diamond) = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52 Answer: 16/52 = 4/13 15) A seven or a six P(seven) = 4/52 = 1/13 P(six) = 4/52 = 1/13 P(seven and six) = 0/52 = 0 as there is no card that is both a seven and a six P(seven or six) = P(seven) + P(six) – P(seven and six) = 1/13 + 1/13 - 0 = 2/13 Answer: 2/13 17) A red card or a ten P(red) = 26/52 P(ten) = 4/52 P(red and ten) = 2/52 (this is counting the ten of diamonds and hearts) P(red or ten) = P(red) + P(ten) – P(red or ten) = 26/52 + 4/52 - 2/52 Answer: 28/52 = 7/13 Homework #19 – 22: One marble is selected from a bag that contains 4 red, 5 white, 6 blue and 2 yellow. Find the probability of selecting 19) A red or a white P(red or white) = P(red) + P(white) – P(red and white) 4/17 + 5/17 - 0/17 Answer: 9/17 21) A blue or a white P(blue or white) = P(blue) + P(white) – P(blue and white) 6/17 + 5/17 - 0/17 Answer: 11/17 Homework #23 – 26: The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, …., 14 are placed on a piece of paper and thrown into a bucket. One piece of paper is randomly selected. What is the probability that: 23) The number is odd or greater then 7 P(odd or > 7) = P(odd) + P(> 7) – P(odd and > 7) 7/14 + 7/17 - 3/14 Answer: 11/14 25) The number is greater than or equal to 5 or even Homework #27-30: The letters of the word Mississippi are placed on pieces of paper and thrown into a bucket. One piece of paper is randomly selected. What is the probability that: 27) The letter is a p or an m? P(p or m) = P(p) + P(m) – P(p or m) 2/11 + 1/11 – 0-11 Answer: 3/11 29) The letter is a vowel or alphabetically after r? Hint there are 4 vowels (iiii) There are 4 letters alphabetically after r (ssss) There are no letters that are vowels and after r P(vowel or after r) = P(vowel) + P(after r) – P(vowel and after r) 4/11 + 4/11 - 0/11 Answer: 8/11 .

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

Get into groups based on the color of your card. a. Once in the group, share with others about your pet(s) b. After sharing, exchange cards with another person, keeping the cards face down 2. Get into 4 groups based on the suit of your card. a. Once in the group, decide as a group to do one of the following exercises: 10 jumping jacks, 10 deep knee bends, or 10 touch your toes b. Exchange cards with another person, keeping the cards face down 3.

Why? • How did the group help each other? • What did it feel like once you were ‘placed’ into a group and asked to share/perform? Source: adapted from Cummings, Michelle.

  • Minor Suit Openings
    Minor Suit Openings Opening the Bidding Suppose you have a good enough hand to open the bidding. Opening bids of 1NT and 1 of a major are very descriptive and give us a good start in the auction, so if you can open 1NT or 1 of a major, you should certainly do that. If you do not have a balanced hand with 15-17 HCP, and you do not have a 5-card major, then you will have to open 1 of a minor. (Sometimes it is correct to open above the 1 level, but these bids have not been covered in class yet, so I will ignore them for now. Also, there is one situation in which you can open 1 of a minor despite having a 5 card major; if you have a longer minor { i.e. 5 spades and 6 diamonds { then you should start with the minor.) But in short, with an opening hand, you should open 1 of a minor if and only if 1NT and 1 of a major are not options. How do you know whether to open 1| or 1}? When we were discussing major suit openings, this was an easy decision: opening 1 of a major promises 5 cards in that major, and you probably don't have two 5 card majors. (If you do have two 5 card majors, you should open 1♠ . As a general rule, whenever you have two 5 card suits, you bid the higher ranking one first. This will allow you to safely bid the lower-ranking suit twice.

  • Mechanics of the Game
    - 1 - BRIDGE - BEGINNER'S LESSONS I - 01 Introductory Concepts – Vocabulary – Mechanics of the Game Bridge is a Partnership game in which each Player is designated by his/her compass direction. NORTH and SOUTH are PARTNERS playing against their OPPONENTS, EAST and WEST. The bridge deck consists of 52 cards with a total of four SUITS: CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, and SPADES. Clubs and Diamonds are termed MINOR SUITS, Hearts and Spades are termed MAJOR SUITS. The cards in each suit are RANKED with the Ace being the highest, followed by the King, Queen, Jack, Ten ... then on down the line to the 2, the lowest ranking card. The suits are also ranked in alphabetical order: “C”lubs, "D”iamonds, "H”earts, and "S”pades. Clubs is the suit of lowest rank, and Spades the suit of highest rank. The cards are SHUFFLED and the deck is then dealt by the DEALER, one card at a time, face down, in a clock-wise direction, until each Player has 13 cards; comprising his/her HAND. The game of Bridge has two stages, the BIDDING PHASE followed by the PLAYING PHASE. During the second phase of any bridge hand, the playing phase, each Player contributes one card to each of thirteen turns, with the highest card winning, for his/her team, each series of four cards played. Each series of four cards played is called a TRICK. Since each Player contributes one card to each trick, there are, therefore, a total of thirteen available tricks to each hand that is played. In the first phase of bridge, the bidding phase, there is a continuous ROUND OF BIDDING, which, in an auction fashion, determines which Partnership will undertake a final CONTRACT.
