Question

You are certain to get a red card when selecting 27 cards from a shuffled deck. Express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1 inclusiv

Answer 1

Answer:

If something is guaranteed, it has a probability of 100%, or 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard deck has 52 cards. Of these, half are red cards (diamonds and hearts) and half are black cards (clovers and spades)

Half of the deck is 26 cards (52 ÷ 2 = 26), so you have 26 red and 26 black cards.

What this means in our context is, if we draw 27 cards, even if we drew all 26 black cards, we would still have 1 red card.

So the probability is 100%, or 1, of drawing a red card when we pick 27 cards from a deck, no matter how it's shuffled
