Question

For the experiment of drawing a single card card from a standard 52 card deck find (a) the probability and (b) the odds that you do not draw a six.

Answer 1

Ok, we need to find the probability you drawing a single card and the odds in favor do not draw a six.​ So, let's do it:

Drawing a single card:

Each card is unique; therefore, the chance of drawing a specific card is

1/52. There is one of each card over a total number of 52 cards.

Favor do not draw a six:

In a deck of cards there are four sixes (of spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds), so the odds in favor that you do not draw a six are subtract these four from 52, so we finally get that the odds in favor that you do not draw a six are 48/52.
