Question

What is the probability of randomly picking an ace of hearts from a standard deck of playing cards? assume there are no jokers in the deck?

Answer 1

1/52, as there is only 1 ace of hearts in a standard deck (no jokers) of 52 cards.

Answer 2

The probability of randomly picking an ace of hearts from a standard deck of playing cards is
`(1)/(52)`

Explanation:

Given A deck of playing card without jokers.

⇒ Total No. of cards = 52

From 52 card, there are 13 cards of heart and only 1 card of ace of heart.

⇒ No. of favorable outcome = 1

`Probability=(No\:of\:favorable\:outcome)/(Total\:no\:of\:outcome)`

`Probability=(1)/(52)`

Therefore, The probability of randomly picking an ace of hearts from a standard deck of playing cards is
`(1)/(52)`
