Answer:

0.25

Unlikely

Explanation:

We are given that

Total number of cards=52

Number of heart cards=13

Number of spade cards=13

Number of diamond cards=13

Number of club cards=13

Probability=
(favorable\;cases)/(Total\;number\;of\;cases)

The probability of drawing a heart card on the first draw=
(13)/(52)=(1)/(4)=0.25

The probability is near about to 0.Therefore, we can describe the event of picking a heart from a deck of cards as unlikely.

Answer:

"the probability of drawing a heart on the first draw is
(1)/(4)"

"we can describe the event of picking a heart from a deck of cards as Unlikely"

Explanation:

A standard 52-deck cards has suites:

13 hearts

13 spades

13 diamonds

13 clubs

So the probability of drawing a heart on the first draw would be the number of hearts divided by the total number of cards. Hence:

13/52 = 1/4

Also, events of probability can be said "unlikely" when they are under 0.5, likely, over 0.5, neither at 0.5, and certain at 1.

So this event in "unlikely".
