Step-by-step explanation:
Given A card is drawn from a pack of well-shuffled 52 cards and a gambler bets that it is a spade or an ace. What are the odds against his winning this bet?
A pack of cards has 13 spades. There are 4 aces.
Now we can pick either ace or a spade.
The ace of spades include 13 spades and 3 aces in the remaining cards.
So we can choose 13 + 3 = 16
The total number of choice will be 52
One card could be drawn is 16 C1
So 52 – 16 = 36
Now odds against the gambler winning the bet will be
Number of not favourable choice : number of favourable choice
36: 16
9 : 4
