Probability Question

Question

What would be the probability be of pulling a card out of a regular deck of playing cards and having it be a heart?

Answer 1

probability = desired outcomes / total outcomes

 

desired outcomes = 13 because there are 13 hearts in a deck\

 

total outcomes = 52 because there are 52 cards to choose from.

 

Therefore 13/52 = 1/13

 

From this information (formula) you should be able to do the other questions

Answer 2

Adaeze, this is almost a ratio question.  How many hearts are there? How many total cards are there (I'm assuming we're not counting jokers)?  There are 13 of each suit, and 52 total cards, so there is a 13/52 chance that a heart will be drawn. Reduce for your answer.
