What is the probability of picking a jack and then a queen from a deck of cards?
The answer depends on whether or not the first card is replaced before drawing the second.
Employers are less likely to approve coalition bargaining because it tends to equalized the affected unions' benefits - hence bargaining strength. For example, a union which historically has not negotiated top-notched wages and benefits for particular class of employees will now be aligned with a union which has historically done so for the same class of employees. The net result would be higher operating expenses for the employers who most assuredly would have to equalized the wages and benefits as a starting point to negotiations. By contrast, unions would more likely approve of multiemployer bargaining because the unions (which have finite resources) would expend less time and money because of the lack of overall time spent at the bargaining table. The unions would therefore be free to use the resulting time and cost savings for other union purposes, such as pending arbitrations and mediations. Also, employers would also disfavor multiemployer bargaining because of the danger of trade secrets being revealed to its competitors during the negotiation process. By: Troy Horton, Esq.

George's chances are 1 in 3. His sister's chances are 1 in 5. The two probabilities are unrelated, nor is the fact that they are twins.
On a standard deck of 52 playing cards how many cards are red or 6?
There are 13 red heart cards and 13 red diamond cards. There are 4 six cards; 2 of which are red. So, on a standard deck of 52 playing cards how many cards are red or 6 is 13+13+2 = 28.
The probability is 0.4312

What are the odds of getting a number greater than 4 on a dice?
On a single roll of a fair die, the probability is 1/3.
What is the probability if two cubes whose faces are numbered 1 through 6 will show the same number?
The probability of rolling doubles on a pair of dice is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667.
The probability the first ball will be red is 5/8.
The probability that the first and second balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7.
The probability that the first, second, and third balls will be red is 5/8 x 4/7 x 3/6, or overall 60/336 (about 17.86%).
What are all the possible combinations of rolling a die?

What is a good hand in Texas holdem?
There a many good hands in Texas Holdem, such as, Three of a kind (when you get dealt your two cards, they are the same numbers on both, and there is a card on the table with the same number as the cards in your hand), the Straight (five consecutive cards- Aces may be used before a two or after a King), the Flush (five cards of the same suit), Full House (three of a kind and one pair), Four of a Kind (four cards with the same number), and the best hand is the Straight Flush (five consecutive cards of the same suit). The lowest hands in Texas Holdem are, High Card (Ace, king, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight etc.), One Pair (two cards with the same number), Two Pairs (for example, you have pairs of Aces and Tens).
There is a 40% chance that it will be an odd number.
Explanation:
The first five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. If one of the two numbers chosen is 2, the sum of the two numbers will be odd.
2 + 3 = 5
2 + 5 = 7
2 + 7 = 9
2 + 11= 13
But, if both numbers chosen are odd, the sum will be an even number.
3 + 5 = 8
3 + 7 = 10
3 + 11 = 14
5 + 7 = 12
5 + 11 = 16
7 + 11 = 18
So, there are four possible combinations out of 10 that result in a sum that is odd.
Another way to do this, without listing the possible combinations, is to determine the chance of randomly selecting the 2. Two numbers are being chosen from five, so there is a 2/5 = 40% chance of selecting a 2, which means the sum will be odd.
If something is unlikely to happen does this mean that it will never happen?
No, it does not mean that it will never happen. Impossible means that it will never happen. unlikely to happen does mean that probably it will not happen..
