mrnood · Answer

there are 13 cards in a suit

4,5,6,7,8,9 gives six possible 'success' results

(you can ignore the fact there are 4 suits - it is the same result)

You need to figure out how many cards there are in a deck of 52 cards that meet the following requirements:   The "value" of the card drawn is 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

Hint:  There are 4 cards marked '4' in each suit.

mrnood · Answer

as noted above - you only need to workout the answer for 1 suit

the fact that there are 4 suits does not change the probability

(and @mathmale - there are 4  '4s' in the PACK - not the suit
