You decide to play a simplified version of blackjack where you are dealt two cards from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. One of the cards is dealt face down and one of the cards is face up. Assume that all of the cards count for their face value (e.g., a 3 of hearts = 3), face cards (J, Q, K) count as 10, and aces [always] count for 11^(1) The value of a player’s hand is determined by the sum of the scores for the two cards that they receive. Use this information to answer the following questions.

1.What is the probability that both of the cards you are dealt are kings?

2.A blackjack occurs when the sum of your cards is 21 – what is the probability that you get a blackjack?

3.Assume the card that is dealt face up is an 8. What is the probability that the value of your hand is at least 17?

4.Give an example of an event in the game of blackjack that contains more than a single outcome.

Assume that 5 cards are dealt at random from a standard deck of 52 cards (there are 4 suits in the deck and 13 different values (ranks) per each suit). We refer to these 5 cards as a hand in the rest of this problem. Calculate the probability of each of the following events when dealing a 5-card hand at random. (a) Exactly one pair: This occurs when the cards have numeric values a, a, b, c, d, where a,...

In Texas Hold’em, each player is dealt two cards from the deck. Obviously, this is done without replacement, so you cannot use the binomial distribution. You can use the hypergeometric distribution or reason from first principles. a) What is the probability of being dealt a pair? Express it as an exact fraction and an approximate percentage. b) If you are dealt two unpaired cards, say the ace of clubs and the 8 of diamonds, what is the chance of getting...
