Answer 1

Given: A deck of 52 cards with 13 diamond cards.

Required: To determine the probability of drawing a diamond card and tails upon flipping a coin.

Step-by-step explanation: Let E be the event where a diamond card is drawn, and F be the event where the tail occurs.

Then, since there are 13 diamond cards among a deck of 52 cards. Thw probability of drawing a diamond card is-

`\begin{gathered} P(E)=(13)/(52) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Similarly, the probability of getting the tails in flipping a coin is-

`P(F)=(1)/(2)`

Thus, the probability of drawing a diamond card and getting tails upon flipping a coin is-

`\begin{gathered} P(E)* P(F)=(1)/(4)*(1)/(2) \\ =(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Final Answer: Option C is correct.
