Question

What is the probability of drawing an even numbered card from a standard deck of shuffled cards?

A) 20/52
B) 25/52
C) 30/52
D) 35/52

Answer 1

Prob = 20/52

Explanation:

There are 5 even number cards per suit: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.

and there are 4 suits in a deck, so the total of the even number card events is 5 * 4 = 20

Given that the deck has 52 cards total, then the probability of drawing an even numbered card is the number of successes (20) divided the number of total cards (52) This gives:

Prob = 20/52

which agrees with answer A) in your list.
