Question

(35 points) What is the probability of drawing a diamond from a standard deck of cards on a second draw, given that a diamond was drawn on the first draw and replaced?

A. 1/13
B. 1/4
C. 12/51
D. 1/52

Answer 1

B. 1/4

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck. 13 of them are diamonds.

The probability that the first card is a diamond is 13/52 = 1/4.

Since the card is replaced, the probability that the second card is a diamond is also 13/52 = 1/4.
