Jaque has a deck of 52 cards with 4 suits (hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs), and each suit has cards numbered 1–13. What is the theoretical probability of him picking a heart from the deck of cards? The answer should be a fraction. Remember to simplify
To calculate the theoretical probability of picking a heart from a deck of cards, we first need to determine the total number of heart cards in the deck. There are 13 heart cards in a deck of 52 cards.
Therefore, the probability of picking a heart from the deck of cards is:
Number of heart cards / Total number of cards
= 13 / 52
= 1/4
So, the theoretical probability of picking a heart from a deck of cards is 1/4.
