let's divide the whole by the sum of its ratios, namely let's 160 ÷ (8+12), and then distribute accordingly.

$\bf \textit{160 at 8:12 ratio}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{8\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}{12\cdot \frac{160}{8+12}}\implies \cfrac{8(8)}{12(8)}\implies \cfrac{64}{96}$

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. one card is selected from the deck. ?(a) compute the probability of randomly selecti

Rama09 [41]

Let
P(h)= probability of selecting heart = 13/52= 1/4
similarly
P(s)= probability of selecting spade =1/4
P(c)= probability of selecting club =1/4
P(d)= probability of selecting diamond =1/4

a)

P(h or s)= P(h)+P(s)= 1/4+1/4=2/4=1/2=0.5

b)

P(h or s or c)=P(h)+P(s)+P(c)=1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4=0.75

c)

P(2 or a diamond)=n(2heart, 2spade,2club,13 diamonds)/total number of cards

=(1+1+1+13)/52=16/52=4/13=0.3

or we could solve it as follows:

P(2 or a diamond)=P(2)+P(diamond)-P(2diamond)=4/52 + 13/52 + 1/52 = (4+13-1)/52=16/52=0.3
