Question

A card is drawn from a standard deck of playing cards. what is the probability that the card is either a 9 or a 10? (express your answer as a decimal to the nearest thousandths.)

Answer 1

There are 52 cards in a standard deck, and 4 suits. There is one 9 per suit, so 4 cards, plus one 10 per suit, so 8 cards. 8 cards divided by 52 cards in a deck is 0.15384615 or 0.154.
