BREAKING DOWN 'Addition Rule For Probabilities'. For example, assume we wish to determine the probability of drawing a king and/or a queen out of a deck of cards on only one draw. Using the addition rule for probabilities, we get the following: P(King) = 4/52, P(Queen) = 4/52, and P(King and Queen) = 0. Since it is impossible to draw both a king and queen on the same draw, we can conclude that the probability of drawing either a king or queen from a deck of cards is 8/52, or about 15.4%.
Bring the water to a boil, and add the hot dogs just as the water begins to boil. Donât put hot dogs in water thatâs already at a rolling boil as this makes them more likely to split. Alternatively, you can put the hot dogs in cold water, and then bring it to a boil â this also reduces the likelihood of a split. Ready to Eat. When the water returns to a boil, cover the pot and let it boil for a minute. Turn off the heat and let the hot dogs stand in the pot for 5 to 7 minutes.
In Hot Water. The usual way to steam a hot dog is on the stove. The simplest way to do this is with a skillet with a lid. Place the hot dogs in the skillet, add 1 inch of water to the bottom and cover with a tight-fitting lid.Cook on high heat and add more water if you run out of steam before the hot dogs are fully cooked.he simplest way to do this is with a skillet with a lid.
