Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the probability of drawing an ace from a standard deck of cards?
  • Step 1: Understand that a standard deck of cards has a total of 52 cards.
  • Step 2: Identify how many aces are in the deck. There are 4 aces (one for each suit: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades).
  • Step 3: To find the probability of drawing an ace, use the formula: Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes).
  • Step 4: Substitute the numbers into the formula: Probability of drawing an ace = 4 (number of aces) / 52 (total cards).
  • Step 5: Simplify the fraction: 4/52 can be reduced to 1/13.
