Question

Match the given situations with their correct probabilities. Answers should be expressed as fractions in simplest form. For questions 1-2. there are 52 cards in a deck of cards. There are 13 of each suit (spades, diamonds, hearts, clubs)What is the probability of picking a spade from standard deck of playing cards?4/131/51/42/37/525/122/13

Answer 1

The probability of an event happening is calculated by possible events divided by total events.

From a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 13 spades.

So the possible events are 13 and the total events are 52

This will be:

prob = 13/52 = 1/4

The answer is 1/4
