Question

Cards: suppose you draw a card from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of each event.

11. The card is 5
Type of event:
Answer:

Answer 1

Theoretical probability. 1/13

Explanation:

probablility = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes

Since there are four 5's in a deck, this will be the numerator and since there is 52 cards in a deck this will be the denominator.

(p of drawing a 5) = 4/52

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4

4/52 ÷ 4/4 = 1/13

This is theoretical probability because you are not actually drawing the cards.
