Question

Carmen is drawing a card from a standard deck of playing cards. Find each probability below.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.25  

b) 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find probability is

$\frac{Favorable \ outcomes}{total \ outcomes}$

Here as deck pf playing cards has 52 cards.

So total outcomes = 52

a)

A deck of cards has 13 hearts.

Favorable outcomes = 13

Probability of drawing a Heart

$=\frac{13}{52}= \frac{1}{4}=0.25$

b)

A deck of cards has 13 cards of clubs.

So the cards which are not clubs = 52-13=39

Hence favorable outcomes = 39

Probability of not drawing a club card

$=\frac{39}{52}= \frac{3}{4}=0.75$
