Thirteen cards numbered 1,...,13 are shuffled and dealt one at a time. Say a match occurs on deal k if the kth card revealed is card number k. Let N be the total number of matches that occur in the thirteen cards. Determine E[N].

E[N] = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the hint we are given on this problem - " Write N = + + · · · + where is the event that a match occurs on deal k. "

_____

Now the standard thing is to do is let = 1, if there is a match on the -th pick and 0 otherwise. The number of matches is given to be + . . . + . Knowing that, we can use the linearity of expectation -

There are 13 cards and for -th pick, the probability of having a card with number is 1 / 13. Therefore, E[N] = E[ + . . . + ] = 1

_____

Solution: E[N] = 1

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
