Question

A magician is performing a card trick where he will pick a card you name from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability of the magician selecting the card you name?

*(A). 1/52
B. 1/25
C. 1/1,000,000
D. 4/25

Answer 1

Since the standard card deck has 52 cards, the correct answer is A. 1/52

Answer 2

Option A.
`(1)/(52)`

Explanation:

A magician is performing a card trick where he picks a card we name from a standard deck of cards.

We have to tell the probability of selecting the card we name.

As number of total events n(S) (sample space) = 52

and picking a card from a standard deck of cards is the favorable event represented by n(E), so probability to pick a card of our choice will be P(E) =
`(n(E))/(n(S))=(1)/(2)`

Therefore Option A is the answer.
