Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of drawing a heart?
  • Step 1: Understand that a standard deck of cards has 52 cards in total.
  • Step 2: Know that there are 4 suits in a deck: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.
  • Step 3: Realize that each suit has the same number of cards, which is 13.
  • Step 4: Identify that the suit we are interested in is hearts, and there are 13 hearts in the deck.
  • Step 5: To find the probability of drawing a heart, use the formula: Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes).
  • Step 6: Substitute the values into the formula: Probability of heart = 13 (hearts) / 52 (total cards).
  • Step 7: Simplify the fraction: 13/52 = 1/4.
