Question

david choose a card from desk of 52 cards,in which there are 13 diamond cards,13 spades cards ,13 hearts cards ,and 13 clubs cards what is the probability that the chosen card is a diamond card

Answer 1

The probability of occurence of any event is defined as the ratio of possible outcome to the total outcome.

The number of possible outcome for a diamond card from the deck is,

$n(p)=13$

The total possible outcome for the deck is,

$n(t)=52$

Determie the probability for the card to be diamond.

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{n(p)}{n(t)} \\ =\frac{13}{52} \\ =\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$

So answer is 1/4.
