As shown above, a classic deck of cards is made up of 52 cards, 26 are black, 26 are red. Each color is split into two suits of 13 cards each (clubs and spades are black and hearts and diamonds are red). Each suit is split into 13 individual cards (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, and King).
If you select a card at random, what is the probability of getting:
1) A(n) 9 of Diamonds?
2) Clubs or Spades?
3) A number smaller than 3 (counting the ace as a 1)?
you don't actually have to divide. Just write the fraction down.
If you are studying probabilities, you must surely know how to write fractions.
Don't be lazy.
Just divide the # of cards that you want by 52
To find the probability of getting a specific card or a specific type of card from a standard deck of 52 cards, you need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (the desired cards) and divide it by the number of possible outcomes (all the cards in the deck).
1) A(n) 9 of Diamonds:
In a standard deck, there is only one 9 of Diamonds. So the number of favorable outcomes is 1. Since there are 52 cards in total, the number of possible outcomes is also 52.
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes
Probability = 1 / 52
Probability = 1/52
Therefore, the probability of getting a 9 of Diamonds is 1/52.
2) Clubs or Spades:
In a standard deck, there are 13 clubs and 13 spades. The number of favorable outcomes is the sum of these two, which is 13 + 13 = 26. The number of possible outcomes is still 52.
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes
Probability = 26 / 52
Probability = 1/2
Therefore, the probability of getting a Clubs or a Spades card is 1/2.
3) A number smaller than 3 (counting the Ace as a 1):
In each suit, there are two cards smaller than 3 (Ace and 2). Since there are four suits in total, the number of favorable outcomes is 2 * 4 = 8. The number of possible outcomes is still 52.
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes
Probability = 8 / 52
Probability = 2/13
Therefore, the probability of getting a number smaller than 3 (counting the Ace as a 1) is 2/13.
bogos binted
im 9 i dont know how to divide please help
