Question

If you select one card at random from a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card is a ten AND a diamond?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/52

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cards in a deck, N(cards) = 52

Number of diamonds in a deck, N(diamonds) = 13

Only one card is a ten and a diamond at the same time

Number of cards that is a ten and a diamond, N(ten AND diamond) = 1

Probability that the card is a ten AND a diamond

Pr(ten AND diamond) = N(ten AND diamond) / N(cards)

Pr(ten AND diamond) = 1/52

The probability that the card selected is a ten AND a diamond is 1/52
