Question

Probability of selecting a two or an eight in a deck of cards

Answer 1

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards has 52 cards

There are four 2's and 4  8's

P ( 2 or an 8) = number of 2's or 8's / total

                     = (4+4)/52

                     = 8/52

                     =2/13

Answer 2

In a full deck there are 52 cards. 4 of them are two’s, 4 of them are eights. 4+4=8. The probability of you selecting either a 2 or an 8 in a deck of cards is 8/52 or about 15%
