Question

3.3. Shuffle a deck of cards and turn over the first card. What is the probability that the first card is a

Answer 1

P(H) = 13 ÷ 52

Explanation:

The computation of the probability that the first card be the heart is given below:

We assume that each and every card in the deck would be likely to be the first card

Here we assume the Hi that represent the first card drawn be the heart

NOw

P(Hi) = 1 ÷ 52 for

1 < = i < =13.

The H event would be represent as the disjoint union

H = H1 U H2 U.....U H13

P(H) = 13 ÷ 52
