Question

david choose a card from desk of 52 cards,in which there are 13 diamond cards,13 spades cards ,13 hearts cards ,and 13 clubs cards what is the probability that the chosen card is a diamond card

Answer 1

The probability of occurence of any event is defined as the ratio of possible outcome to the total outcome.

The number of possible outcome for a diamond card from the deck is,

`n(p)=13`

The total possible outcome for the deck is,

`n(t)=52`

Determie the probability for the card to be diamond.

`\begin{gathered} P=(n(p))/(n(t)) \\ =(13)/(52) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

So answer is 1/4.
