Question

A card is drawn at random from a standard pack of playing cards. Then a fair coin is flipped. What is the probability of selecting a 10 and the coin landing on tails

Answer 1

1/26

Explanation:

There are 4 packs in a regular card deck. Hence, we have four 10s.

The probability of selecting a 10 is thus 4/52 = 1/13

The probability of getting the coin to land on its tail is 1/2.

The probability of getting a 10 and a tail flip = 1/2 * 1/13 = 1/26
