Question

A state lottery game consists of choosing one card from each of the four suits in a standard deck of playing cards. (there are 13 cards in each suit.) consider the event that an ace, a king, a queen, and a jack are chosen. how many choices are available for each card?

Answer 1

There are 4 choices available for each card - an ace, a king, a queen, and a jack.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of playing cards, there are 13 cards in each of the four suits - clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. The event described in the question involves choosing one card from each of the four suits and specifically selecting an ace, a king, a queen, and a jack.

To calculate the number of choices available for each card, we simply consider the number of cards of the desired rank in each suit. There is 1 ace, 1 king, 1 queen, and 1 jack in each suit, so there are 4 choices available for each card.
