Question

Find the possibility of getting a ace of hearts and ace of spades from 52 cards ​

Answer 1

answer

$\frac{1 }{ 2}$

Answer 2

In a deck of 52 cards, there are

• 13 heart cards
• 4 ace cards
• 13 spade cards.

There is only 1 ace of hearts card

$\sf{Probability \: of \: ace \: of \: hearts = \dfrac{1}{52} }$

Similarly, even for ace of spades there is only 1 ace of spade card.

So

$\sf{Probability \: of \: ace \: of \: spade = \dfrac{1}{52} }$
