Question

Two gamblers have a big pile of money on the table. They will each draw one card from a regular deck of 52 cards, and the gambler with the highest card will win the money. If their cards are of equal value, they will split the pot. What is the probability that they split the pot?

Answer 1

In order to get both equal cards, the first gambler can get any card, but the second gambler has to get a card of the same value, that probability is 4/52 (there are 4 cards of the same value on the 52 card deck)

Answer:

4/52 = 0.07692307692 ==> 7.7%
