Question

A card is drawn at random from a standard pack of playing cards. Then a fair coin is flipped. What is the probability of selecting an Ace and the coin landing on tails?

Answer 1

1/26

Explanation:

In a standard pack of cards, there are 52 total cards and 4 aces, two black aces and two red aces.

The probability of selecting an ace is therefore:

4/52 = 1/13

The probability of flipping a coin and it landing on tails is:

1/2

Therefore, the probability of selecting an Ace and the coin landing on tails is:

1/13 * 1/2 = 1/26
