Chen has a deck of 52 cards with 4 suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs), and each suit has cards numbered 1–13. Calculate the theoretical probability of picking a club. The answer should be a fraction. Remember to simplify. (1 point)
The probability of picking a club (out of 52 cards) is the number of club cards (13) divided by the total number of cards in the deck (52):
Probability = Number of club cards / Total number of cards
Probability = 13 / 52
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (1):
Probability = 13 / 52
Probability = 1 / 4
Therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a club is 1/4.
