Question

Identify the probability of choosing a heart card from a deck of cards.1/21/31/41/5

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to remember that:

1. A typical deck of cards has 52 cards, and they are of the following kinds:

• 13 ---> Spades

,

• 13 ---> Hearts

,

• 13 ---> Clubs

,

• 13 ---> Diamonds

2. Therefore, we have, in total:

`13*4=52\text{ cards}`

3. Since we need the probability of choosing a heart card from a deck of cards, then we have that this probability is:

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

That is, we have 13 cases from the possible 52.

Therefore, in summary, the probability of choosing a heart card from a deck of cards is 1/4 (third option).
