Answer:

C.) 57%

Explanation:

The events describe is about picking a card, and placing it back into the deck. This means that the total number of event won't change in each trial.

We know that there are 4 queens of 52 cards. So, the probability of picking a card and be a queen is


P=(4)/(52)=(1)/(13)

However, in this case, we have to apply the experimental probability definition, because we have several attempts. This experimental probability is defined as the ratio between the time the event occurs (4) and the total number of trials (7). That is


P_(exp)=(4)/(7)=0.57 \ (or \ 57\%)

Therefore, the right answer is C.
