A standard deck of cards has 52 cards in four suits: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. Spades and clubs are black; hearts and
diamonds are red. Each suit has 13 cards: 2 through 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace. The "face cards" are the Jack, Queen, and King. Robby Billity shuffles a standard deck and draws one card. Then Robby replaces the card, shuffles again, and draws another card. He repeats this procedure for a total of 1000 draws. About how many times would we expect Robby to draw these cards?
Let's compute the probability of this event and then multiply it by 100.
As each deck has 4 suits and each suit has 3 faces, there are 12 faces in a deck.
As a deck has 52 cards, the probability of drawing a face is
<em>12/52 = 0.23076
</em>
This means that if you choose a card 1000 times from a deck of poker cards, you probably will select 231 times a face (rounding to the nearest integer).
