Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a standard deck of cards, there 54 cards (52 cards plus 2 Jokers). There are 4 suits (kinds of shapes) in a deck namely: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades. Each of the suits numbers from number 2 to number 10 (numbering 36 cards). Afterwards, we have 4 suits each for the Jack, Queen, King & Ace cards (numbering 16 cards). And then 2 Jokers
An Ace turned up at the 20th card, this means there 34 cards left. The number of cards left is given by the difference between 54 & 20. Mathematically shown below:
Cards left = 54 - 20 = 34
Total number of cards = 54, number of Aces of Spades ♠ in the deck = 1, number of two clubs ♣ in the deck = 1
A. Probability of the next card being Ace of Spades ♠ = the number of Ace of Spades card in the deck ÷ Total number of cards left in the deck
Pr (Ace of Spades) = 1 ÷ 34
Pr (Ace of Spades) = 0.0294 or 2.94%
B. Probability of the next card being Two of Clubs ♣ = the number of Two of Clubs card in the deck ÷ Total number of cards left in the deck
Pr (Two of Clubs) = 1 ÷ 34
Pr (Two of Clubs) = 0.0294 or 2.94%
It therefore implies that the chancess of the next card being Ace of Spades (A ♠) or Two of Clubs (2 ♣) is the same; the Ace of Spades is just equally as likely to be picked as the next card from the deck as Two of Clubs
