Question

a card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting. '2' of spades with explanation.

Answer 1

ok so you have 52 cards and you want the 2 of spades. I will assume that both the black and red cards are wanted.

First, there is only one card that you want to find.

Secondly, you are searching for it in a stack of 52 cards.

Third, you need to remember that there are two cards that have the 2 of spades, the black and the red card.

So the probability is 2/52

since you wanted 2 cards from 52 cards.

If you only wanted one colour, for example black, your probability would then change to 1/52

I hope that helped
