Question

Theoretical Probabilities. Use the theoretical method to determine the probability ofthe following outcomes and events. State any assumptions that you make. Drawing a king from a standard deck of cards

Answer 1

Recall that the theoretical probability that an event occurs is given by the following quotient:

`\frac{\text{favorable cases}}{total\text{ cases}}.`

We know that in a standard deck there are 52 cards from which 4 are kings, therefore:

`\text{Probability of drawing a king=}(4)/(52).`

Answer:

`(4)/(52)\text{.}`
