Question

What is the probability of getting an 8 from a deck of 52 cards? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 4 cards of number eight in a deck of 52 cards, namely: 8 Spades, 8 Diamond, 8 Clubs, and 8 Hearts.

So the probable outcomes are 4 and the total cards are 52.

So, $\frac{4}{52}$ x 100 = 1/13.

So there is a 1/13 chance for getting an eight, i.e, for every 13 cards, one card will be an eight.

Also, this is a 7.7% chance.

Answer 2

We need to find the probability of getting an 8 from a deck of 52 cards.

In a deck of 52 cards we have,

$13 \: cards \: of \: spades \\ 13 \: cards \: of \: diamonds \\ 13 \: cards \: of \: hearts \: \\ 13 \: cards \: of \: clubs$

Each of these 13 cards have

$king \\ queen \\ jack \\ numbers \: from \: 2 \: to \: 10 \\ and \: an \: ace$

Out of these 13 cards we have only one card of 8.

Out of 52 cards, number of cards having 8 is 4.

$probabilty = no.of \: favorable \: outcomes \div total \: number \: of \: outcomes$

Here

$favorable \: outomes = 4 \\ total \: number \: of \: outcomes = 52$

By substituting these values in the formula we get,

$probability = 4 \div 52 \\ = 1 \div 13$

Therefore the probability of getting an 8 from a deck of 52 cards is

$1 \div 13$
