    • Another provision was known as the 52–20 clause.
    • This enabled all former servicemen to receive $20 a week for 52 weeks/year while they were looking for work.
    • Less than 20% of the money set aside for the 52–20 Club was distributed; rather, most returning servicemen quickly found jobs or pursued higher education.
    • Furthermore, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) came under increased pressure as rising enrollments and strained resources forced them to turn away an estimated 20,000 veterans.

  • Basic Concepts

    • Since the deck has four aces, there are four favorable outcomes; since the deck has 52 cards, there are 52 possible outcomes.
    • What about the probability that the card will be a club?
    • Since there are 13 clubs, the probability is $\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$.
    • There are 20 possible cherries that could be picked, so the number of possible outcomes is 20.
    • Of these 20 possible outcomes, 14 are favorable (sweet), so the probability that the cherry will be sweet is $\frac{14}{20}=\frac{7}{10}$.

  • The Addition Rule

    • When drawing one card out of a deck of $52$ playing cards, what is the probability of getting heart or a face card (king, queen, or jack)?
    • Since there are $13$ hearts and a total of $12$ face cards ($3$ of each suit: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs), but only $3$ face cards of hearts, we obtain:
    • $\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(H\cup F)&=P(H)+P(F)-P(H\cap F)\\ &=\frac { 13 }{ 52 } +\frac { 12 }{ 52 } -\frac { 3 }{ 52 } \end{aligned}$
    • Suppose a card is drawn from a deck of 52 playing cards: what is the probability of getting a king or a queen?

    • 3.17 14/20 = 70% are within 1 SD.
    • Within 2 SD: 19/20 = 95%.
    • Within 3 SD: 20/20 = 100%.
    • For example, if the first card is an ace of clubs, that implies the second card cannot be an ace of clubs.

    • Ferns, club mosses, horsetails, and whisk ferns are seedless vascular plants that reproduce with spores and are found in moist environments.
    • Modern-day seedless tracheophytes include club mosses, horsetails, ferns, and whisk ferns.
    • The club mosses, or phylum Lycopodiophyta, are the earliest group of seedless vascular plants.
    • More than 20,000 species of ferns live in environments ranging from tropics to temperate forests.
    • In the club mosses such as Lycopodium clavatum, sporangia are arranged in clusters called strobili.
