In one deck, there are 4 a, 16 b, and 32 x.There are 6 kinds of hand possible:
ab or ba (blackjack), aa, bb, xx, ax or xa, bx or xbThe ways to get at least one blackjack are(your hand) -- (dealer&#039;s hand)
(ab or ba) -- (anything)
(aa) -- (ab or ba)
(bb) -- (ab or ba)
(xx) -- (ab or ba)
(ax or xa) -- (ab or ba)
(bx or xb) -- (ab or ba)It is fairly straightforward to calculate the probability of each of these ways to get at least one blackjack.
For example, for (aa) -- (ab or ba): the probability of (you) = (aa) is (4/52)*(3/51).
The probability of (dealer) = (ab or ba) is (2/50)*(16/49)+(16/50)*(2/49) = (2/50)*(16/49)*2.
So the probability of this combination is (4/52)*(3/51)*(2/50)*(16/49)*2,
which is (4*3*2*16*2)/(52*51*50*49)After you calculate the probabilities of all the ways of getting at least one blackjack, add them together to get the total.The answer is 615680/(52*51*50*49) = 0.094757903Therefore the probability that NEITHER gets a blackjack is 0.905242097</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks like its easiest to calculate the probability of the complementary event, that you or the dealer DOES get a blackjack, and then subtract from 1.</p><p>Let a = ace, and b = K,Q,J,10, and x = anything else.<br

isPermaLink="false">http://www.tedcommittee.com/general/sound-advice-for-having-a-good-wedding/#comment-569</guid> <description>From my understanding, engagement rings gained popularity in middle class America to basically symbolize the man having some &#039;skin in the game&#039; so when the woman eventually had sex with him, he couldn&#039;t just cut and run. Well, he could, I suppose, but he&#039;d at least leave the poor &#039;ruined&#039; girl something her family could sell.They are something a tangible symbol. People are visual, tactile creatures and having something that one can touch and see is very important. It&#039;s somehow a physical transformation that happens. A woman goes from not wearing an engagement ring to having one on her hand. People can see it and know that she&#039;s somehow different. Honestly, I can&#039;t decide if it&#039;s a horribly ingrained gender bias that women are expected to have some sort of physical justification for their relationship status and men aren&#039;t or if it&#039;s just that we like pretty things. I guess there&#039;s also an element of women being able to physically show that their husband can support them, although in this 2 income post third wave feminist world I&#039;d HOPE that isn&#039;t the case anymore. But, judging from some of the answers I see in here, it probably is.Diamonds being the standard is marketing. &quot;2 Months salary&quot; is marketing. It&#039;s kind of terrifying how people can&#039;t tell tradition and etiquette from a good ad campaign anymore. Anthropologically speaking I think wedding and courtship rites are very interesting and I&#039;m always fascinated at the absorption of advertising and marketing ideas into culture. Clearly, American society needed more of a guideline on what to spend on an engagement ring and an advertising agency gave them &quot;2 months salary&quot; and magically that became the standard.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From my understanding, engagement rings gained popularity in middle class America to basically symbolize the man having some &#039;skin in the game&#039; so when the woman eventually had sex with him, he couldn&#039;t just cut and run. Well, he could, I suppose, but he&#039;d at least leave the poor &#039;ruined&#039; girl something her family could sell.</p><p>They are something a tangible symbol. People are visual, tactile creatures and having something that one can touch and see is very important. It&#039;s somehow a physical transformation that happens. A woman goes from not wearing an engagement ring to having one on her hand. People can see it and know that she&#039;s somehow different. Honestly, I can&#039;t decide if it&#039;s a horribly ingrained gender bias that women are expected to have some sort of physical justification for their relationship status and men aren&#039;t or if it&#039;s just that we like pretty things. I guess there&#039;s also an element of women being able to physically show that their husband can support them, although in this 2 income post third wave feminist world I&#039;d HOPE that isn&#039;t the case anymore. But, judging from some of the answers I see in here, it probably is.</p><p>Diamonds being the standard is marketing. &quot;2 Months salary&quot; is marketing.
