Question

one card is drawn at random from a 52 deck of cards find the probability that it is a 5 or a 6

Answer 1

Answer:

8/52

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cards with no.5

and 4 cards with no.6

8/52 = 4/26 = 2/13

Answer 2

Given,

A deck of 52 cards.

To Find,

The probability of getting a 5 or a 6.

Solution,

The formula for calculating the probability of an event is

Probability of an event = Favorable outcomes/Total outcomes

In this question

Favorable outcomes = 8 {4 5's and 4 6's}

Total number of outcomes = 52

So,

Probability of getting a 5 or a 6 = 8/52

Probability of getting a 5 or a 6 = 2/13

Hence, the probability of getting a 5 or a 6 is 2/13.
