Question

From a standard deck of cards, your first draw is a black card. You replace the card, and the second draw is a diamond. Which THREE statements are correct for the outcome of the event? A) The probability of drawing the black card is 1/2 B) The probability of drawing the diamond is 1/4 C)The probability of the compound event is 1/6 D) The probability of the compound event is 1/8 E) The probability of the compound event is 3/4 ​

Answer 1

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
