Question

What is the probability that a card drawn randomly from a standard deck of 52 cards is a five? Express your answer as a fraction in the lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.this is what i believe the answer to be but i wanted to make sureThere are total of 52 cards in a standard deckThe card is selected randomlyFrom 52 cards total 2 fives in a deck Required probability = 2/52= 1/26

Answer 1

According to the given information and what we know about a standard deck of cards, there are 4 fives in a deck of 52 cards.

To find the probability of drawing a five divide the number of fives by the total number of cards:

$\frac{4}{52}=\frac{2}{26}=\frac{1}{13}$
