Question

What is the probability of choosing a club or a diamond from a standard pack of playing cards? Choose one. 1/3 1/4 1/2 1/6

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

As there are 52 cards in a deck and the probability of club or diamond is (13+13) ie 26.

so answer is 26/52

Answer 2

Given:

A standard pack of playing cards.

To Find:

What is the probability of choosing a club or a diamond from a standard pack of playing cards?

Solution:

We know that,

Total number of cards in a standard pack = 52

Number of clubs in a standard pack = 13

Number of diamonds in a standard pack = 13

Probability of an event = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of               outcomes

Here, we have

Number of favorable events = 13 + 13 = 26

Total number of outcomes = 52

So,

Probability of choosing a club or a diamond = 26 / 52 = 1/2

Hence, the probability of choosing a club or a diamond from a standard pack of playing cards is 1/2 (option c).
