Question

Michael is drawing a card from a standard deck of 52 cards, which includes 4 aces: the ace of clubs, the ace of diamonds, the ace of hearts, and the ace of spades. For each trial, he draws a card, records which card he drew, and returns it to the deck. He draws an ace 332 times. Of the times he draws an ace, which of the following would be a good estimate for the number of times the ace drawn is the ace of hearts?
A. 93
B. 145
C. 229
D. 56

Answer 1

X = number of times an ace was drawn.
y = the number of suits.
z = the outcome we are looking for.
We are solving for z.

x ÷ y = z

332 ÷ 4 = z

z = 83

It is not likely that exactly 25% of the drawings are going to be the ace of hearts, so the best answer is A. 93
