Question

create and conduct an experiment with at least five outcomes for playing cards

Answer 1

There are 52 cards in deck

a) probability of choosing a spade from a deck of cards

= 13/52  

= 1/4

b) probability of choosing a ace from a deck of cards

= 4/52

= 1/13

c) probability of choosing a queen or king from a deck of cards

= 4/52 + 4/52

= 8/52

= 2/13

d) probability of choosing a spade or ace from a deck of cards

= 13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52 (subtracting 1 as ace also contains 1 spade)

= 16/52

= 4/13

e)  probability of choosing a card with digit 5 from a deck of cards

= 4/52

= 1/13
