Question

Type the correct answer in each box. write each answer as a fraction, using / for the fraction bar. wesley draws a card at random from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. the probability that wesley draws an ace or a jack is . the probability that wesley draws a number card or a black card is .

Answer 1

The probability that Wesley draws an ace or a jack is 0.154 and the probability that Wesley draws a number card or a black card is 0.846

The probability of Ace or jack

In a standard deck of cards, we have:

Total = 52

Ace = 4

Jack = 4

Ace and Jack = 0

The probability is then calculated as:

P = P(Ace) +P(Jack) - P(Ace and Jack)

This gives

P = 4/52 + 4/52 - 0/52

Evaluate

P = 0.154

Hence, the probability that Wesley draws an ace or a jack is 0.154

The probability of Number card or black card

In a standard deck of cards, we have:

Total = 52

Number card  = 36

Black = 26

Number card and Black = 18

The probability is then calculated as:

P = P(Number card) +P(Black card) - P(Both)

This gives

P = 36/52 + 26/52 - 18/52

Evaluate

P = 0.846

Hence, the probability that Wesley draws a number card or a black card is 0.846
