Question

Given a standard deck of cards (52 cards), what is the probability of drawing the Ace of spades?(Give your answer as a percent, don't forget the %. Round to the nearest whole number if necessary.)

Answer 1

Given:

A deck of 52 cards is given.

To find- the probability of drawing the Ace of spades.

Explanation-

We know that there are only four aces in a deck.

Every suit has its own ace. Thus, we have one ace of spades.

The probability is given by th ratio of the total number of favorable outcomes to the total possible outcomes.

Mathematically, we get

`\begin{gathered} =\frac{\text{ number of ace of spades}}{total\text{ cards in a deck}} \\ =(1)/(52) \\ =0.0192 \end{gathered}`

The probability as a percent will be-

`\begin{gathered} =0.0192*100 \\ =1.92\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the probability of drawing the Ace of spades is 1.92%.

The answer is 1.92%.
