Ron draws 16 cards from a standard deck of 52. The deck is made up of equal numbers of four suits. How many of the cards drawn can Ron expect to be spades?
Since there are 52 cards in a standard deck and equal numbers of four suits, there are 13 spades in the deck.
If Ron draws 16 cards randomly, he can expect to draw approximately (16/52) * 13 = 4 spades.
Therefore, Ron can expect to draw 4 spades out of the 16 cards.
