Question 15 (2 points)

A standard deck of cards contains 4 suits of the same 13 cards. The contents of a
standard deck are shown below:

Standard deck of 52 cards
4 suits (CLUBS SPADES, HEARTS, DIAMONDS)
13 CLUBS
13 SPADES
13 HEARTS
DIAMONDS

If a card is drawn at random from the deck, what is the probability it is a jack or ten?

0
4/52- 1/13
8/52 = 2/13
48/52- 12/13

Answer 1

Explanation:

a probability is airways the ratio

desired cases / totally possible cases

in each of the 4 suits there is one Jack and one 10.

that means in the whole deck of cards we have

4×2 = 8 desired cases.

the totally possible cases are the whole deck = 52.

so, the probability to draw a Jack or a Ten is

8/52 = 2/13

Answer 2

Answer: 2/13

Explanation:

There are four jacks and four tens in a standard deck of 52 cards. However, the jack of spades and the ten of spades are counted twice since they are both a jack and a ten. Therefore, there are 8 cards that are either a jack or a ten, and the probability of drawing one of these cards at random is:

P(Jack or Ten) = 8/52 = 2/13

So the answer is 2/13.
