Question

What is the probability of drawing a spade from a standard deck of cards on a second draw, given that a spade was drawn on the first draw and not replaced? twelve over fifty one one over fifty two one over fifty one thirteen over fifty two?

Answer 1

There is 13 spades in a deck.
52 cards in a deck.
If you do not replace the card you just chose the first time the awnser should be
12 over 51 or answer A

Answer 2

Option A is the answer.

Explanation:

The total number of spade cards in a deck = 13

And total number of cards in a deck = 52

When the first card drawn was a spade, and it is not replaced, then this leaves 51 cards behind and 12 spades.

Therefore, the probability of the second draw being a spade is:

`(12)/(51)` =
`(4)/(17)`

So, option A is the answer.
