Question

A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. match the correct fraction with its corresponding probability. 1. p(a diamond or a heart): 2. p(a club or an ace):

Answer 1

1. p=26/52
26/52=.5
50 percent

2. p=29/52
29/52=.56
56 percent

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 1/2

2. 4/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Cards in a standard deck  = 52

Cards of diamond = 13

Cards of heart = 13

Cards of club = 13

Cards of Ace = 4

One card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards.

1. probability of picking diamond or a heart = 13 + 13 = 26

p = $\frac{26}{52}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

2. probability of picking a club or an ace = 13 + 3 = 16

(Do not forget that one ace is taken in total of club cards)

p = $\frac{16}{52}$ = $\frac{4}{13}$
