10. susannah is drawing a card from a standard 52-card deck. click playing cards to learn what playing cards are included in a deck. homework help ✎ what is the probability that she draws a card that is less than 5?

Answer 1

In the deck of cards, there is a total of 52 cards which comprises of: kings, queens, jacks, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and aces.

In the problem, we were asked the probability of less than 5, so it would be Ace, 2, 3, and 4. 5 is not included since the problem didn’t ask less than or equal to.

So 4 cards and we have 4 suits in the deck. So 4 x 4 = 16.

16/ 52 = .31 is the probability.
