Question

A card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find P(drawing a card less than 10).

Answer 1

8/13

Explanation:

In any suit, there are 8 cards less than 10:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Each card comes in 4 suits, so there is a total of

4 × 8 = 32

cards less than 10.

P(drawing a card less than 10) = 32/52 = 8/13

Answer: 8/13
