Question

Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided.

Hannah wants to know what the probability is that a card drawn randomly from a deck will be a jack. Her sample space includes all 52 cards in a standard deck. Which of these outcomes compose the event?

Answer 1

4/52 = 1/13

Explanation:

There are 4 jacks in a standard deck of cards.

Each suit (diamonds hearts spades and clubs) has the following cards:

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10

Jack

Queen

King

Ace

So there are 4 Jacks: 1 diamond, 1 heart, 1 spade, 1 club.

4 out of 52 cards are jacks.

4/52 = 1/13

I don't see a list of multiple choice responses in your question.

So pick whichever one says something like:

Hannah has a 4/52 or 1/13 probability of selecting a jack.
