Question

What is the approximate Probability of drawing a spade Card from a standard deck of shuffled cards?Group of answer choices1/21/41/5212/52

Answer 1

Given,

The number of cards in a standard deck is 52.

Required:

The probability of drawing of spade card.

The number of spade card in deck is 13.

Consider,

A is the event of drawing of spade card.

Probability is calculated as:

`Probability\text{ =}\frac{Number\text{ of favourable events}}{Total\text{ events}}`

Substituting the values then,

`\begin{gathered} P(A)\text{=}\frac{N(A)}{Total\text{ events}} \\ =(13)/(52) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the probability is 1/4.
