Question

If a card is picked by random, what is the probability of picking a number that is a multiple of 4?

Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

A card is picked by random

TO DETERMINE

The probability of picking a number that is a multiple of 4

EVALUATION

Total number of cards = 52

So total number of possible outcomes = 52

Let A be the event that of picking a number that is a multiple of 4

There are 4 types of cards Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs each of 13

Now multiple of 4 when playing cards are concerned are 4 and 8

So total number of multiple of 4

= 2 × 4

= 8

So the total number of possible outcomes for the event A is 8

Hence the required probability

$\displaystyle\sf{ = \frac{Number \: of \: favourable \: cases \: for \: A }{Total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes } }$

$\displaystyle\sf{ = \frac{8}{52} }$

$\displaystyle\sf{ = \frac{2}{13} }$
