A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards. The deck is divided into 4 suits: spades hearts, diamonds and clubs. There are 13 of each suit. what is the probability you will draw a heart?

how many hearts are there?

13 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

probability of drawing heart = (# of hearts)/(# of cards total) probability of drawing heart = 13/52 probability of drawing heart = 1/4 ... be sure to reduce fully

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the 1/4 makes sense because you essentially have 4 suits and you pick one suit of the 4
