Question

(CO 2) A random selection from a deck of cards selects one card. What is the probability of selecting a spade

Answer 1

Answer:

$P(Spade) = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

In a deck, there are:

$Cards = 52$

$Spade= 13$

Required

Determine the probability that a selected card is a spade

This is represented as: P(Spade) and it is calculated using:

$P(Spade) = \frac{Spade}{Cards}$

Substitute 13 for Spade and 52 for Cards

$P(Spade) = \frac{13}{52}$

$P(Spade) = 0.25$

Hence, the required probability is 0.25
