Question

Assume you are working with a standard deck of 52 cards. There are 13 cards (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace) in each of four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades). What is P(Jack ∩ Heart) if you draw one card?

17 over 52
4 over 13
1 over 52

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a Jack of Hearts from a standard deck of 52 cards is 1 over 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of drawing a Jack of Hearts from a standard deck of 52 cards, we must consider the number of favorable outcomes over the total possible outcomes. In this case, there is only one Jack of Hearts in the deck.

Probability (P) is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes (the single Jack of Hearts) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (all cards in the deck):

P(Jack ∩ Heart) = Number of Jack of Hearts / Total number of cards = 1 / 52

The correct answer is 1 over 52.
