Question

52 regular playing cards are randomly dealt to four players with each players receiving 13 cards. What is the probability that each player will have exactly one ace

Answer 1

The probability is 1/28,561

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the probability that each of the players will receive exactly one ace.

In a deck of cards, we have 4 suites of 13 cards each, with each of the suites consisting of 1 ace.

So, the probability of getting an ace for each of the four players will be 4/52 = 1/13

Now, the probability of each of the players getting exactly one ace will be; first got one ace , second got one , third got one and fourth got one.

mathematically, this probability will be 1/13 * 1/13 * 1/13 * 1/13 = (1/13)^4 = 1/28,561
