Question

Find the theoretical probability of

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of cards in a standard  deck of playing cards. = 52

The number of categories of cards (Hearts , club , spade , diamond) = 4

Card with multiple of 5 =5 , 10

Total cards with multiple of 5 = $2\times4=8$

Now, the theoretical probability of  choosing a multiple of 5 from a standard  deck of playing cards is given by :-

$\dfrac{8}{52}=\dfrac{2}{13}$

Answer 2

A standard Deck of cards has 52 cards. there are 4 5s because there are 4 kinds of cards (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs). therefore, the theoretical probability of choosing a 5 is 4/52 or 1/13
