Question

Maria is playing a game where she is trying to draw a spade from a standard deck of cards. if she doesnt get a spade, she replaces the card, shuffles the deck, and tries again. if she draws a card 3 times and doesnt get a spade, she loses. what is the probability that Maria loses the game? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

not spade times not spade times not space

Answer 2

what is the probability she does not draw a spade?

Answer 3

if that is not clear, let me know

Answer 4

27/64

Answer 5

.4

Answer 6

42.1%

Answer 7

you know where any of those numbers come from?

Answer 8

wouldn't it be 39/52?

Answer 9

no
there are four suits, with equal number of cards in each
so the probability of not drawing a spade on any one try is \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Answer 10

of course you are also right, since \[\frac{39}{52}=\frac{3}{4}\] it is just that \(\frac{3}{4}\) is a heck of a lot easier to cube

Answer 11

thank you!
