Question

You are dealt a card from a standard 52 card deck , what is the probability of getting an ace

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

There are four aces in a standard deck of cards.

`(aces)/(cards)=(4)/(52)= 0.076923076923...`

0.076923076923... ≈ 0.077

0.077 = 7.7%

There is an approximate 7.7 percent chance that you will get an ace.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

0.1538

Explanation:

Probability of being dealt with an ace of a 8 =

= Number of ace + number of an 8 in the deck / Total number of cards in the deck

= (4+4) / 52 = 8/52 = 0.1538

Therefore 0.1538 is the required probability here.
