A, B, D

A: because there are two colour types in a deck of cards, so it’s 1/2 probability of getting a black one.

B: because there a four suits in a deck of cards, so the probability of getting a diamond is 1/4

D: because when calculating compound events we multiply the two probabilities,
so 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
