A card is selected at random from an ordinary pack of 52 playing cards.state the probability the card is a club.
There are 13 clubs in a deck of 52.
Take a guess.
13/52
To find the probability of selecting a club from a standard deck of 52 playing cards, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (in this case, the number of club cards) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (the total number of cards in the deck).
In a standard deck of 52 playing cards, there are 13 clubs (clubs are one of the four suits, along with diamonds, hearts, and spades), so the number of favorable outcomes is 13.
The total number of possible outcomes (the number of cards in the deck) is 52.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a club card at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards is:
Probability = Number of Favorable Outcomes / Number of Possible Outcomes
= 13 / 52
= 1/4
= 0.25
= 25%
So, the probability is 1/4, or 0.25, or 25%.
To find the probability that the card drawn is a club, we need to know the total number of cards in the pack and the number of club cards.
In a standard deck, there are 52 playing cards. Among them, there are 13 club cards (Ace of clubs, 2-10 of clubs, Jack of clubs, Queen of clubs, and King of clubs).
The probability of selecting a club card can be calculated using the formula:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is 13 (the number of club cards), and the total number of possible outcomes is 52 (the total number of cards in the deck).
So, the probability of selecting a club card is:
Probability = 13 / 52
Probability = 1 / 4
Therefore, the probability that the randomly selected card is a club is 1/4 or 25%.
